Ingredients
12 slices sturdy white or sourdough bread
12 slices sharp cheddar cheese
4 slices provolone or Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 quart creamy tomato soup (for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the Bread:
Lay out all 12 slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice, covering edge to edge.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
Flip 6 slices over so the unbuttered side faces up. Layer each with 2 slices of sharp cheddar and 1 slice of provolone or Monterey Jack.
Top the Sandwiches:
Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side facing out, forming 6 sandwiches.
Grill the Sandwiches:
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place 2–3 sandwiches in the pan without overcrowding.
Cook Until Golden:
Grill for 3–5 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until deep golden brown and crispy. Ensure the cheese is fully melted.
Rest Briefly:
Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board and let rest for 1–2 minutes.
Create the Dippers:
Trim crusts (optional). Slice each sandwich vertically into 3–4 equal sticks.
Serve:
Arrange on a platter with warm tomato soup for dipping. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
Cook on medium-low heat to prevent burning before cheese melts.
Try mixing cheeses like gouda or mozzarella for extra stretch.
Use brioche for a richer flavor.
Best enjoyed fresh; reheating may soften crispiness.
