Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 slices Texas Toast Bread or other thick-sliced bread
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons mayo
  • 1 slice sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 slice Gouda cheese
  • 1 slice Muenster cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Instructions

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy spreading, and have your cheese slices ready to go.
  • On one side of each slice of bread, spread 1 teaspoon of mayo evenly. This will add flavor and help achieve a crispy crust.
  • Flip the slices of bread over so the mayo side is facing down. Layer the cheeses on one slice: place the sharp Cheddar, followed by the Gouda, and finish with the Muenster.
  • Sprinkle the garlic powder and salt evenly over the cheese layer. This is where the magic happens, adding depth to your sandwich.
  • Place the second slice of bread on top, mayo side up.
  • In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the room-temperature butter. Allow it to melt, coating the bottom of the pan.
  • Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
  • Using a spatula, gently flip the sandwich. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, allowing the cheese to melt completely and the bread to crisp up.
  • Once both sides are golden and the cheese is gooey, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it sit for a minute, then slice it in half and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
