Starbucks grilled cheese sandwich elevates comfort food with sharp cheddar and mozzarella melted between perfectly toasted sourdough bread. Cheese lovers savor each crispy, gooey bite that brings cafe-style satisfaction right to home kitchens.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons (tbsps) salted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) shredded white cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare a non-stick skillet and heat over medium temperature (around 350°F) to ensure even toasting.
- Generously coat each sourdough bread slice with butter on one side, creating a rich, golden exterior.
- Position the first bread slice butter-side down on the heated skillet, allowing it to begin crisping and developing a golden color.
- Distribute a harmonious blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese across the bread surface, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Carefully layer the second bread slice on top, positioning the buttered side facing upward for balanced browning.
- Grill the sandwich for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, monitoring the color transformation to a deep golden brown and watching the cheese melt completely.
- Carefully transfer the grilled sandwich from the skillet, letting it rest momentarily to allow cheese to set.
- Slice diagonally to create two triangular halves, revealing the melted cheese interior, and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Optimize bread selection by choosing thick-cut sourdough for maximum crispiness and rich flavor profile.
- Control heat carefully to prevent burning while ensuring complete cheese melting and golden-brown exterior.
- Try cheese blend ratios to customize taste intensity and create personal flavor variations.
- Consider adding optional ingredients like crispy bacon, sliced tomatoes, or herbs for gourmet sandwich upgrade.
