A gourmet grilled cheese sandwich recipe inspired by Chef Thomas Keller, using a blend of gruyere and cheddar cheese on brioche bread, cooked on the stovetop and finished in the oven for a perfectly melted interior and golden crust.
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 350F.
2️⃣ Evenly divide the thinly sliced cheese between the two sandwiches.
3️⃣ In a large pan over medium heat, add 2 Tbsp butter and cook until it melts and starts to bubble and foam (1-2 mins).
4️⃣ Add the sandwiches and cook until deep golden brown on the first side, about 1 min 30 seconds. (Lift a corner of a sandwich every 30 seconds to check the progress.) Flip and cook on the second side for 30-45 secs until deep golden brown. Transfer the sandwiches to a small sheet pan.
5️⃣ Spread 1 tsp softened butter on the top of each sandwich, and bake for 2-5 mins until the cheese is fully melted. Slice and enjoy!
