Why make it
A golden, buttery sandwich with a crisp crust and a molten two-cheese centre. Ready in 15 minutes from pantry basics, it's ideal for a quick lunch.
Serves 2
Step 1 of 6
Mix the grated cheddar and mozzarella in a bowl with the black pepper. If using mustard, spread a thin layer on two slices of bread.
Step 2 of 6
Spread the softened butter evenly over one side of each slice, right to the edges. This side will face outward and turn golden.
Step 3 of 6
Place two slices on a board, buttered side down. Pile half the cheese on each, keeping it about 1 cm from the edges. Top with the remaining slices, buttered side up.
Step 4 of 6
Heat a non-stick pan over low-medium heat for 1 minute. Add the sandwiches and cook, pressing gently with a spatula, until the underside is deep golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 5 of 6
Flip carefully and cover the pan with a lid. Cook until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted and oozing at the edges, 3 to 4 minutes.
The last step is in the full recipe.
Cook’s tip
Keep the heat low to medium. High heat browns the bread before the cheese melts.
