Our Sinful Grilled Cheese on Sourdough
Our son loves a grilled cheese sandwich. He also loves himself a cheese skirt. One day he was being extra awesome, and we thought we would treat him by making his grilled cheese with a cheese skirt crust. Well, it turns out this was a mistake. Now every time he has a grilled cheese he has to have the cheese skirt crust. Not that we blame him. This tasty, cheesy sandwich of awesomeness is one of our favorites too. And so, our Sinful Grilled Cheese on Sourdough was born.
Ingredients, Substitutions, and Additions
Bread – We absolutely love sourdough bread in our family. But we encourage you to go rogue and use your favorite bread. Wheat, Rye, White, they all work with this recipe.
Cheese – There is no getting round it a grilled cheese sandwich without cheese. It’s the key ingredient. In this recipe, we like to use a combination of sliced and shredded cheese on the inside of the sandwich to hold everything together and shredded cheese for the cheese skirt crust. We stick with cheddar cheese, because it’s what we always have in our refrigerator, however, go with what you like. Mozzarella, Gouda, Havarti, Pepper Jack, or maybe a combination of cheeses. You pick.
Note: Cheese amounts are based on the size of our bread. The sourdough we love at our grocery store is particularly large and therefore earns quite a bit of cheese. Tailor the measurements to the size of your bread as well as your preferences.
Butter – Butter is the glue that holds the cheese to the bread to create our cheese skirt. Every now and then we will use mayo instead of butter.
