How to Make Triple Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and fontina cheeses. Set aside.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. If you’re using garlic powder, sprinkle a little on the butter before spreading it.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Place two slices of bread butter-side down in the skillet. Evenly distribute the cheese mixture on top of each slice, then top with the remaining slices of bread, butter-side up.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula.
- Cook the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until it’s also golden brown and the cheese has melted completely.
- Remove from the skillet and let the sandwiches cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve hot!
