Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses to create a unique and flavorful sandwich. A combination of sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and fontina is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other types of cheese, such as brie, goat cheese, or gruyère.
- Butter the bread slices before grilling to help them brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the sandwich over medium heat so that the cheese has time to melt and the bread has time to toast.
- Flip the sandwich once during cooking to ensure that both sides are evenly browned.
- Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tomato soup, french onion soup, or ranch dressing.
