As mentioned in the French onion soup recipe I posted, our family prefers to serve a grilled cheese sandwich on the side of this soup so that it stays crispy, and the kids always find soups better with a side of grilled cheese.
Ingredients
8 slices Bread – Italian, French, whatever you like
1 tbsp Unsalted Butter – melted
2/3 cup Shredded Gruyere cheese
2/3 cup Shredded Fontina Cheese
Salt and Pepper
Recipe
- Divide cheeses amongst 4 slices of the bread, and season with salt and pepper.
- Top the sandwiches with another piece of bread.
- Spread the butter across the top pieces of bread and place the sandwich (butter side down) on nonstick skillet that should be heated on medium heat.
- While the bottom piece gets toasty, spread the butter on the top non-buttered piece.
- When the bottom gets toasty, flip and toast the other side – about 3-4 minutes per side should be perfect.
If you’re a newbie to grilled cheese, just remember that it’s done when the toast is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve with a side of your favorite soup and enjoy!
