A grilled cheese sandwich with a kick! This is the recipe for Grilled Cheese lovers, because this will explode their taste buds with joy and satisfaction.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 slices Sourdough Bread
  • 1/4 pound Cheddar Cheese, slice 1/3” thick
  • 1 Hatch Chile, roasted, peeled, seeded, cut in half
  • Unsalted butter, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet on low heat and add enough butter to coat the pan evenly. Assemble the slices of bread with the cheese and one half of the chile. Gently press them together to hold them in place.
  2. Put the sandwich in the bottom of the pan. Cook over low heat. Use the spatula to check for a golden brown color after 5 minutes.
  3. Flip the sandwich over and check after 5 minutes for the same golden brown color. Cheese should be completely melted at this point.
  4. Makes 2 sandwiches.

Notes

  • Low heat – it takes a little patience to make the perfect grilled cheese. Keep your heat on low to give the cheese time to fully melt while the bread gets golden and crisp. If browning too fast, turn the heat down.
  • Butter generously – the amount of butter may seem like a lot, but it is important for a crispy exterior. 
  • Use thick-sliced bread – we love using Texas toast because it’s sliced about twice as thick as normal sandwich bread. You want bread that is about 3/4″ to 1″ thick, but also avoid bread that is too thick or your cheese won’t melt properly. Using bread that is too thin will produce a flimsy and sometimes soggy sandwich.
