Preparation
Step 1
Spread 1/2 Tbsp of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Step 2
Set a skillet over medium/low heat and place 2 slices of bread in the skillet with the butter side down.
Step 3
Stack cheeses on one piece of toast: cheddar, Havarti, then Gouda. Once the breads are golden brown, close the sandwich with the crisp sides on the outside.
Step 4
Continue cooking until the bread is a rich golden brown, flipping once and pressing down lightly to help the bread stick to the cheese. Total cooking time should be 5-6 minutes. Keep the heat on medium low for the breads to toast slowly, giving your cheese a chance to fully melt and adhere to the bread.
Step 5
Once you see the cheese has melted and breads are browned, remove to a plate and cut in half diagonally to serve. Repeat with the next sandwich.
Step 6

Chef's notes
We use a combination of medium cheddar, Gouda, and Havarti cheeses, but you can use just one type of cheese. Monterey Jack, pepper jack, Gruyere, or even American cheese will work.
