Ultimate Grilled Sandwich (Rye or Sourdough with Swiss Cheese Variations)

by

INGREDENT

  • 2 slices rye bread (or sourdough, Texas toast, etc.)
  • 2 slices Swiss cheese (or provolone, cheddar, or American cheese)
  • 1–2 tbsp butter, softened
  • Optional add-ins:
    • Sliced deli meats (like pastrami, turkey, or ham)
    • Sauerkraut or caramelized onions
    • Thousand Island dressing or mustard

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread:
    Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich:
    Place one slice, butter side down, on a skillet or griddle. Layer with cheese and any optional fillings or sauces you like. Top with the second slice of bread, butter side up.
  3. Cook:
    Heat the skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted—about 3–4 minutes per side. Press down slightly with a spatula while grilling for an even crust.
  4. Serve:
    Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm with a side of pickles, chips, or a fresh salad.

Would you like me to name it something catchier or add a flavor twist (like spicy or sweet)?
