     Simple, Classic Grilled Cheese

Category   Entrees - Maindishes
Sub Category   None
Servings   2
Preptime   20 minutres

Ingredients
2 1/2 ounces fromage blanc
2 1/2 ounces sharp cheddar, coarsely grated
2 1/2 ounces Monterey jack, coarsely grated
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, chives, or parsley
4 slices (1/2-in.-thick) levain (mild, crusty sourdough bread)
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
 

Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine all 3 cheeses and the basil. Grating the harder cheeses makes the pieces all the same size so they melt evenly. And adding a creamy cheese, like fromage blanc or cream cheese, distributes the grated cheese evenly over the bread . All of this makes for a very creamy filling. 2. Top 2 bread slices with cheese mixture, smushing it evenly onto the bread. Stale bread works really well for grilled cheese, It's a little drier, so it browns better. Form sandwiches with remaining 2 slices. It's a generous amount of filling, but that's okay. However, if you're using a fluffier, lighter bread, she advises using a little less, so the bread isn't overwhelmed. 3. Butter the outsides of each sandwich- all the way to the edges, so every part gets toasted
4. Heat a large well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or a large, heavy nonstick pan over medium heat for a minute. The heavy bottom is important- It conducts heat evenly, so your sandwiches won't scorch. 5. Place 2 sandwiches in skillet and cook until golden-brown underneath, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook the other side. The most common mistake in making grilled cheese is cooking it too hot
