A delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese, featuring a crispy parmesan crust and a rich, gooey cheese filling.
Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Ensure the butter is softened for easy spreading.
Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese onto the buttered side of each bread slice, pressing gently to adhere.
Press the cheese firmly to ensure it sticks well to the bread.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and place four bread slices, parmesan side down, onto the skillet.
Preheat the skillet for a consistent crust.
Layer one slice each of cheddar, mozzarella, and gruyere on top of the bread slices in the skillet.
Ensure the cheese slices are evenly distributed for uniform melting.
Top with the remaining bread slices, parmesan side up, and grill until the bottom is golden brown.
Press gently with the spatula for even grilling.
Flip the sandwiches carefully and grill the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.
Lower the heat slightly if the bread browns too quickly.
Remove from the skillet, let sit for 2 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
Allowing the sandwiches to rest helps the cheese set slightly for easier slicing.
