Triple Cheese Sourdough Grilled Cheese (Print Version)

Layers of sharp cheddar, provolone, and mozzarella between crispy golden sourdough. Pure melty comfort in just 20 minutes.

# What You Need:

→ Bread & Cheese

01 - 4 slices thick sourdough bread
02 - 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
03 - 2 slices provolone cheese
04 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Spreads & Fats

05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
06 - 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, optional

# How To Make It:

01 - Lay out sourdough slices and spread butter evenly on one side of each slice. If using mayonnaise, spread a thin layer on the other side for enhanced crispiness.
02 - Place two slices buttered side down on a clean surface. Layer each with 1 slice cheddar, 1 slice provolone, and half the shredded mozzarella cheese.
03 - Top each layered bread slice with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
04 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
05 - Place sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden brown and cheese is fully melted. Flip carefully to avoid spillage.
06 - Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 1 minute. Cut diagonally and serve hot.
