Scale
Grilled Cheese
- 4 slices white or sourdough bread, 1/2 inch thick
- 1/2 cup Jarlsberg or cheddar cheese, grated. 40g
- 2 tbsp butter, for spreading
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Everything Spice, see below
Everything Spice
- 3 tbsp poppy seeds
- 3 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp dried onion
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp Maldon salt, or any flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Make everything spice: Mix all the everything spice ingredients together, and store in an airtight container. Makes about 1/2 cup.
- Prepare parmesan crust: Get white or sour dough bread, and cut into half inch slices. Spread butter on the outsides, sprinkle with 1/2 tbsp everything spice on each outside, and sprinkle with a little parmesan cheese. Press the spice and parmesan lightly onto the bread so it sticks.
- Fill with cheese: In the inside, just add as much cheese as you want, or 1/2 cup divided on two like me. Squish the two slices together and place in a medium heated non-stick pan (not necessary with butter or oil).
- Grill the grilled cheese: Medium heat will allow the slices to become crispy on the outside, but not hard, and the cheese will melt. If you add a lid to your skillet, the cheese will melt faster, and the chance of burning your crust will therefore decrease. Once the bread is as crispy as you want, you might want to press it down a little with a spatula, to incorporate the cheese a little into the bread. You may also use a toast maker.
