- 4 slices sourdough bread Note 1
- 6 slices havarti cheese cut in halves, Note 2
- 1 tablespoon butter Note 3
Garnish (optional):
- parsley stems discarded, leaves finely chopped
- salt
Butter bread: lay the 4 slices of sourdough bread onto a chopping board in a flat layer. Then use a butter knife to butter 1 side of each bread slice. Next stack the buttered sides together for each 2 pieces of bread.
Havarti cheese: place 3 cut slices of the havarti cheese on top of the non buttered side of bread for each sandwich.
Close: unstick each of the buttered sides of bread for the sandwiches and place the top buttered side facing out.
Cook: place a large frying pan onto the stove top, turn the heat to high and add the toasties. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on the 1st side, then use a flat turner to flip them to the other side. Cook the 2nd side for 2-3 minutes.
To serve: once the grilled cheese are cooked, use the flat turner to transfer them to a chopping board. Then use a serrated knife to cut them in half. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, a little salt and plate.
- Note 1 - Sourdough bread: you can use your favorite type of bread for the recipe. My advice is to go for one that is robust, the slices don't have holes and it holds up well (doesn't flatten too much) when being toasted.
- Note 2 - Havarti cheese: this is a soft, salty cheese made from cow's milk. You will be able to get it either in the deli section or fridge section of the supermarket. It is pale yellow in color and has small holes in it.
- Note 3 - Butter: regular spreadable butter that you would use for toast is ideal. It is soft and spreads well.
