Triple Cheese Sourdough Grilled Cheese (Printable)

Melty triple cheese sandwich with cheddar, provolone, and mozzarella on crispy sourdough. Comfort food elevated in just 20 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread & Cheese

01 - 4 slices thick sourdough bread
02 - 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
03 - 2 slices provolone cheese
04 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Spreads & Fats

05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
06 - 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, optional for extra crispiness

# How to Make It:

01 - Lay out the sourdough slices. Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice. If using, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the other side for extra crispiness.
02 - Place two slices, buttered side down, on a clean surface. Layer each with 1 slice cheddar, 1 slice provolone, and half the shredded mozzarella.
03 - Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
04 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan.
05 - Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Flip carefully to avoid spillage.
06 - Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 1 minute, then cut and serve hot.
