The Crusty Aged Cheddar Jack: Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe

I wanted a lot of cheese for the initial sandwich. After several minutes of standing in the cheese aisle at Jewel Osco, contemplating what might taste best together, I just grabbed three cheeses at random. You can't go wrong with cheese, right? Choosing the bread was easy. The result:

Swiss, sharp cheddar & colby jack grilled cheese sandwich

Ingredients

Crusty sourdough bread (2 slices)

Aged Swiss

Sharp cheddar

Colby jack

Butter*

Directions

Butter one side of each slice of bread.* Layer the cheeses between each slice. Put in a skillet. Place a lid over the skillet to ensure the cheese melts evenly. Flip when necessary (to prevent burning). Eat.

*Because I always butter the outside of each slice of bread, I won't always include it in the ingredients/directions.

The Verdict

Overall, very delicious. But, until I or someone else prove otherwise, I'm under the impression grilled cheese cannot be screwed up. The three cheeses melted perfectly together (thanks to the lid), creating a wonderful sandwich. I could have done with a little less cheese. And I felt like something should be added. I'm biased in thinking dill pickle slices make any grilled cheese better, but tomato may just make this sandwich one of my favorites...so far.
