Ingredients
- 4 slices bread (thick slices)
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 slices gouda
Instructions
- Preheat your pellet grill to 425°F and place a large cast iron skillet or grill pan directly on the grill grates to heat up.
- While the grill heats, butter both sides of each bread slice generously, using about ½ tablespoon of butter per side.
- When the grill and pan are hot, place two slices of buttered bread in the skillet. On each bread slice, add one slice each of cheddar and gouda, folding if needed to fit inside the bread edges. Top with remaining buttered bread slices.
- Close grill lid and cook for 5 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
- Carefully flip and cook another 5 minutes with the lid closed until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 1 minute before slicing diagonally. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- A sturdy, crusty bread works best. It holds up to the heat and gives you that perfect golden crust.
- Layer your cheese slices by folding them to fit within the bread edges. This prevents cheese from melting out and burning.
- Assembling directly on the hot cast iron helps the cheese start melting immediately.
- While best enjoyed fresh off the grill, leftovers can be saved for up to 24 hours. Reheat in a covered skillet over low heat until warm.
