Grilled Grilled Cheese

Who doesn’t love a great, gooey grilled cheese sandwich? I’ve been making them for years, just like everyone else. And I really hadn’t thought of doing something different to them. Until now.

Equipment

Ingredients

4 slices Texas toast
1-2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
3 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese shredded
3 ounces butterkäse shredded (or any good soft white cheese)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Heat a griddle over a lit grill, or a large skillet (preferably cast iron) on the stove top, over medium-high heat.
Spread the butter on one side of each of the slices of bread.
In a bowl, combine the cheeses, dry mustard, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Lay the bread butter-side down onto the griddle or skillet.
Top two of the slices of bread with the cheese mixture.
Close the grill (or cover the skillet) and let cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted.
Assemble sandwiches by topping cheesy slices with plain slices and serve.

Notes

Also great made using emmental cheese.
