Triple Cheese Sourdough Grilled Cheese (Printable)

Layers of cheddar, provolone, and mozzarella between golden, crispy thick sourdough slices. Ultimate comfort elevated.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread & Cheese

01 - 4 slices thick sourdough bread
02 - 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
03 - 2 slices provolone cheese
04 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Spreads & Fats

05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
06 - 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, optional for extra crispiness

# Directions:

01 - Lay out sourdough slices. Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice. If using mayonnaise, spread a thin layer on the other side for enhanced crispiness.
02 - Place two slices buttered side down on a clean surface. Layer each with one slice cheddar, one slice provolone, and half the shredded mozzarella.
03 - Top each sandwich with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
04 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
05 - Place sandwiches in pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, pressing gently until bread is golden brown and cheese is fully melted. Flip carefully to avoid spillage.
06 - Transfer to cutting board, let rest for 1 minute, then cut diagonally and serve hot.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The triple cheese combination creates an incredible depth of flavor that keeps you coming back for bite after bite
  • That sourdough crunch against the gooey interior is the kind of texture contrast that makes grilled cheese an eternal favorite
02 -
  • Low and slow is absolutely essential because high heat will burn the bread before the cheese has time to melt completely
  • Letting the sandwich rest for just one minute after cooking prevents all that precious cheese from oozing out when you cut it
03 -
  • Butter your bread room temperature rather than cold for even coverage that prevents bare spots
  • Covering the pan for the first minute helps melt the cheese without burning the bread
