Ingredients

Sage Butter

  • ½ stick of unsalted butter
  • 1 bunch of sage leaves
  • Pinch of salt

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  • 8 slices thick crusty bread (sourdough is my go-to for this!)
  • 6 oz sharp white cheddar grated
  • 4 oz aged gouda grated

Instructions

Sage Butter

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once your butter has melted, add the sage leaves and lower heat. With a wooden spoon, stir the sages leaves around in the butter until the butter begins to brown and the sage leaves get crispy.
  • Remove pan from the heat and add salt. Remove crispy sage leaves and set aside.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat (I prefer cast iron).
  • Assemble each sandwich by dividing the two cheeses evenly onto four of the slices of bread.
  • Add a few crispy sage leaves on top of the cheese. Top with remaining slices of bread, pressing down lightly to form the sandwiches.
  • Brush the outside of the bread slices with the sage butter and add them to the pan. I also drizzle sage butter directly into skillet while sandwiches are cooking.
  • Cook until the bread is nice and crispy and a dark golden color, and the cheese is starting to melt. Flip sandwiches and do the same on the other side.
  • Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey!
