Sometimes the classics don’t need much. Buttery sourdough, golden and crisp on the outside, with plenty of New School American Cheese melting in the middle.
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 3–4 slices New School American Cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Directions
Build the sandwich: Place the New School American Cheese evenly between the two slices of sourdough.
Butter the bread: Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly over the outside of each slice, making sure to go all the way to the edges.
Start the grill: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sandwich and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, about 3–4 minutes.
Flip and finish: Carefully flip the sandwich and continue cooking until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted, another 3–4 minutes.
Make sure it’s melty: If the bread is browned before the cheese is fully melted, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan for 30–60 seconds.
Serve: Remove from the skillet, let rest for a minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
We believe in better
Fed up with the old school approach, longtime friends Alan Leavitt and Chef Eric Greenspan sought to create a cleaner, tastier alternative to traditional American cheese. After five years of tinkering with the cheese-making process, they created New School. American cheese done right.
