"Whip up this easy Sourdough Grilled Cheese recipe for a quick, satisfying meal. Tangy sourdough, melty cheddar, and a hint of garlic make it irresistible."
Mix the butter with garlic powder. Spread this mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice.
On the non-buttered side of two bread slices, lay down the cheese slices. Add tomato slices on top of the cheese and season with a little salt and pepper. Cover with the remaining bread slices, buttered side out.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwiches in the skillet.
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, pressing down lightly with a spatula occasionally.
Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let sit for a minute before cutting. Serve warm.
Notes
Butter the bread, not the pan, for an even, crispy crust.
• Use medium heat to prevent the bread from burning before the cheese melts.
• Cover the pan with a lid for a few minutes to help the cheese melt faster.
• Press down lightly on the sandwich with a spatula for that perfect crunch.
• Experiment with adding different herbs or spices to the butter for extra flavor.
