Amazing Grilled Cheese Sandwich

This grilled cheese can be made with just sharp white cheddar, but tonight I added a little Fontina cheese and it was delicious! Last time I made these, I used an orange sharp cheddar and a really good aged white cheddar. Those were also equally amazing! So, you can just play with this recipe and decide which way you like it the best!

Amazing Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Sliced sourdough bread
Aged white cheddar
Sharp cheddar cheese or Fontina cheese
8 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup chopped chives 
a dash of garlic salt (to your taste)

In a small bowl, mix cream cheese with the chives.
Butter the outside of the bread slices.
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese/chive mixture on the inside of the sourdough slices for your grilled cheese. On top of that, add one layer of white cheddar cheese slices. Then add a small amount of fontina cheese or sharp cheddar cheese. Whichever you prefer. You can also choose to just use the white cheddar.

Put into the pan on medium heat and cover with a lid. It should take about 2 minutes per side. I always cover it because it really helps to melt the cheese. This sandwich is delicious served with tomato soup or my cauliflower soup that I posted a while back. :)




You can see the ratio of the white cheddar on the bottom and the amount of fontina on top. Fontina is strong cheese, so start with a small amount and see what you think. Again, you can substitute the fontina with a sharp or medium cheddar cheese, too. The white cheddar is crucial for this sandwich, though.

  1. I still think "Juliane's Kitchen" should be turned into a cookbook. Creative and delicious stuff. I can confirm that from first-hand experience.
