Recipe: Not Your Mother’s Grilled Cheese

Remember a toasty, buttery, cheesy grilled cheese your mom used to make when she didn’t want to make a big dinner? This will give you all the sweet nostalgia of your childhood, but you’ll feel like a 5-star chef when you’re done!  

Ingredients 

1 Loaf of Sourdough Bread 

1 stick salted butter, softened 

¾ tsp. garlic powder 

¼ cup shredded mild cheddar 

2 slices provolone  

2 slices Colby jack  

2 slices Havarti 

Cream cheese mixture 

1/3 cup cream cheese 

1/5 tbsp mayonnaise  

¼ tsp garlic powder 

1/8 tsp. black pepper 

½ tsp. Italian seasoning 

¼ tsp. red pepper flakes 

Thickly slice bread. In a bowl, mix butter, garlic powder and shredded cheddar. Spread on outer side of each slice of bread. Flip bread over and add one slice of provolone and Colby jack. Spread cream cheese mixture on top of sliced cheese. Top that with one slice of Havarti and second piece of bread to close sandwich. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium low heat. Add in sandwiches, cover with a lid and allow the bottom to crisp up. Flip and repeat.
