A sophisticated grilled cheese featuring melty Gruyère, truffle oil, and crispy buttery bread. Simple elegance in every bite.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Bread
01 - 4 slices sourdough bread or artisan bread
→ Cheese
02 - 4.2 oz Gruyère cheese, grated or thinly sliced
→ Spreads & Oils
03 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
04 - 1 to 2 tsp truffle oil, white or black
→ Seasoning
05 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste
06 - Pinch of sea salt, optional
# How To Make It:
01 - Lay out all bread slices and spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice.
02 - Flip the bread over and drizzle truffle oil on the unbuttered side of two slices. Evenly distribute grated Gruyère cheese over the truffle oil-drizzled slices.
03 - Season the cheese lightly with black pepper and a pinch of salt if desired. Top each sandwich with a remaining bread slice, butter side facing outward.
04 - Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-low heat until evenly warmed.
05 - Place sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden brown and crisp with melted cheese. Reduce heat if bread browns too quickly before cheese melts.
06 - Remove from pan and let rest for 1 minute. Slice diagonally and serve immediately.
