This gourmet grilled cheese sandwich features a delightful green olive tapenade, elevating the classic comfort food to a new level.
Prepare the green olive tapenade by finely chopping the olives and mixing them with minced garlic and olive oil in a bowl.
Chop the olives finely for a smoother spread, or leave them chunkier for more texture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated to avoid uneven browning.
Spread the tapenade on one side of two slices of bread.
Spread the tapenade evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
Place a slice of cheese on top of the tapenade, then cover with another slice of bread.
Press the sandwich gently to help it hold together.
Add a bit of olive oil to the skillet and place the sandwich in it.
Cook the sandwich over medium heat to allow the cheese to melt without burning the bread.
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook until the other side is golden brown.
Use a spatula to press the sandwich slightly for even browning.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
