Key Ingredients:
- Sourdough Bread: Tangy and sturdy, sourdough bread becomes golden and crisp.
- Mayo: Helps create the golden, crispy crust.
- Cheese: Shredded straight from the block or slices. Use your favorite cheese with a good melt such as American, cheddar, or provolone.
Dietary Swaps:
- Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free sourdough style bread such as Schar's Gluten-Free Sourdough Deli Style Bread.
- Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free mayo & dairy-free cheese such as Daiya.
- Egg-Free: Use an egg-free mayo such as Vegeniase.
Recipe Variations:
- Optional additions: pickle relish or pickle slices, tomato slices, cooked bacon.
- Try a blend of cheeses. Gruyere, white cheddar, provolone, or muenster are all good choices.
- Make it spicy, with pepperjack cheese and sliced pickled jalapenos.
Tips & Notes:
- Shred cheese straight from the block. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated in anti-caking agent that makes it not melt as well.
- Mayo can be swapped for melted butter or butter spread.
- Covering the pan with a lid traps steam and can help the cheese melt faster without burning the bread.
