Ingredients
- 2 ⅔ cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 ⅓ cups Gouda shredded
- 16 slices hearty white sandwich bread
- ½ cup butter, melted or 1 stick
Instructions
- Adjust oven racks to middle and lower-middle positions. Place 1 baking sheet on each rack and in preheated 450 degree oven. Allow sheets to heat up while you prepare your sandwiches.
- Combine cheeses in bowl. Brush one side of each slice of bread with melted butter. Flip 8 slices over, top with ½ cup cheese mixture, and compact cheese lightly with hand. Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered side up, and press down gently.
- Using oven mitts, remove hot baking sheets from oven and place on cooling rack. Arrange sandwiches on 1 sheet. Return to middle rack of oven, and carefully place second sheet over sandwiches, rim side up. Bake sandwiches until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove top baking sheet and transfer sheet with sandwiches to cooling rack. Slice in half, if desired and serve.
Notes
- Shred or slice block cheese for the best results.
- Use oven mitts working with hot rimmed baking sheets so you don't burn yourself.
- Plan ahead your grilled cheese ingredients. You need to move as quickly as possible when building your grilled cheese on the hot pan.
