Sandwich: Fancy Three-Cheese Grilled Cheese

My least regular thing to photograph is a grilled cheese. Clearly, as you see zero cheese strings stretching between sandwich halves because I waited too long setting up this shot. I debated reshooting this sandwich because I so wanted shots of a stringing, gooey grilled cheese– which it would have been if I could simply work quicker. I’m a virgo, and perfectionist I am even though these are far from dependable looking… they’re dependable tasting.

The three cheeses: sharp Vermont white cheddar, Parmesan Reggiano and blue cheese. Alone those cheese are fabulous, but together, under one bread roof? A (believe it or not) gooey, satisfying and fancy masterpiece.

For this Fancy Three-Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich You Will NeedL

  • Italian bread
  • butter (salted)
  • blue cheese
  • freshly grated Vermont white cheddar
  • Parmesan Reggiano

P.s. The blue cheese makes these sandwiches as with all things.

For two sandwiches, melt 2 tablespoons of (salted) butter in a skillet over medium. If using a griddle preheat to 375℉ (or 190℃). Place two slices of bread down and press a little so they start to absorb some of that butter. Top with white cheddar, Parmesan and then crumble the fresh blue cheese over top. Then top with more white cheddar and the remaining two slices and cover with a lid. Check every so often and when the bottom of the sandwiches are golden, crisp and GLORIOUS, give them a flip and repeat.

I will say that having room temperature cheeses makes for a better grilled cheese experience. The bread will golden and the cheese will melt perfectly!

Grilled cheese nirvana!

Serve with kettle chips or dunk in soup and prepare to swoon.
