Parmesan-Crusted Grilled Cheese Sandwich - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 slices sourdough bread
3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, divided use
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
8 slices swiss cheese
8 slices fontina
8 slices cheddar cheese

Preparation

Spread out bread slices and spread each with about 1 T butter.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese on each slice and press firmly into bread.
Melt 1/2 stick butter and pour half into large skillet preheated on medium-high.
Place 4 of the bread slices in skillet, parmesan-crusted side down.
Arrange 1 slice each of the 3 cheeses on each bread slice and grill undisturbed about 7 minutes. Cheese slices should begin to soften.
Flip sandwich slices and grill briefly on other side, then set aside.
Wipe skillet, add remaining melted butter and repeat with remaining bread with cheeses.
Assemble sandwiches and let sit 3-5 minutes before serving.
