Ingredients

  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 3 Tablespoons Challenge Spreadable Butter with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided, plus more as needed
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 2 slices provolone or Gruyère
  • freshly cracked black pepper, optional

Directions

  • 1

    Lay the bread slices on a work surface. Spread one side of each slice generously with Challenge Spreadable Butter with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

  • 2

    Flip the bread over so the buttered sides face down. Layer the cheeses evenly over 2 slices of bread, then top with the remaining bread, buttered sides facing out.

  • 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sandwiches and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bread is deeply golden and crisp and the cheese is melted.

  • 4

    If the bread is browning before the cheese is fully melted, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet for 1 to 2 minutes.

  • 5

    Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for about 1 minute, then slice and serve immediately.

Tip

  • The spreadable texture makes it easy to get an even layer of butter all the way to the edges of the bread straight from the refrigerator, which helps create that extra-golden, crispy exterior.
