Preparation
Chef’s notes
You can easily double, triple, or quadruple this recipe to make more sandwiches. If you are making several sandwiches at once, you can use an electric griddle pan. We like to use a griddle when we are making several sandwiches. Make sure you don’t turn the heat up too high.
Instead of spreading the bread with butter, you can use mayonnaise. It will create a nice golden crust too, but we prefer the flavor of butter for our sandwiches.
You can use your favorite cheese. Sharp cheddar, Gouda, Fontina, Monterey Jack, Gruyere, Pepper Jack, and brie are all good options. The amount of cheese you use will depend on the size of your bread. You can do a mix of cheeses. I love sharp Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Gouda together. Play around to find your perfect combo.
