Description

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2/3 of a baguette
- 75 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 1-2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Instructions
- Heat pan: Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium low heat to prepare for grilling your sandwich gradually to avoid burning.
- Prepare baguette: Slice the baguette pieces in half horizontally and spread butter or margarine on the outer sides of each half. This ensures a golden, crisp crust when fried.
- Assemble sandwich: Place the bottom halves of the baguette into the heated pan with the buttered side facing down. Immediately pile the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses on top evenly.
- Top and cook: Place the top baguette halves on top with the buttered side facing up. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and then carefully flip the sandwiches to cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese has melted thoroughly.
Notes
- Use a nonstick frying pan to prevent sticking and burning.
- Adjust butter quantity to your taste but be mindful of added fat content.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like basil or a sprinkle of garlic powder in the cheese layer.
- Serve warm immediately for best taste and melty texture.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for optimal melt and flavor.
