Instructions

1. 1
   Mise En Place

   Gather sourdough, cheddar, Gruyere, fontina, and butter; set out a skillet, spatula, box grater, butter knife, and cutting board. · 2 min

   What to look for: All ingredients and tools are ready on the counter.

2. 2
   Grate Cheese

   Grate cheddar, Gruyere, and fontina, then toss them together lightly so each sandwich gets an even blend of sharp, nutty, creamy cheese. · 3 min

   What to look for: The cheeses are evenly mixed into loose shreds.

3. 3
   Build Sandwiches

   Spread butter on 1 side of each sourdough slice, then pile the cheese blend on 2 unbuttered sides and close with butter facing out. · 3 min

   What to look for: Each sandwich has butter on the outside and cheese tucked inside.

4. 4
   Warm Skillet

   Heat a skillet over medium low heat until a small dab of butter melts with gentle foaming, not fast browning. · 2 min

   What to look for: Butter foams slowly and stays pale golden.

5. 5
   Grill First Side

   Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the underside is deep golden and the cheese begins to soften near the edges. · 4 min

   What to look for: The bottom crust is crisp and evenly browned.

6. 6
   Flip And Melt

   Flip carefully, press lightly with the spatula, and cook until both sides are crisp and the center feels molten. · 4 min

   What to look for: Both sides are golden brown and a little cheese may bubble at the seam.

7. 7
   Serve Hot

   Serve the sandwiches hot while the crust is crisp and the 3 cheeses are fully melted, with no garnish needed. · 1 min

   What to look for: The cut sandwich shows a glossy melted cheese center.
