Equipment

  • Stovetop

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon butter, softened
  • 4 pieces of bread (we like sourdough)
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 slices mozzarella cheese or any other cheese you like (such as American cheddar, gouda, Havarti, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoon honey

Instructions
 

Stovetop

  • Spread ½ tablespoon butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  • Set a skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, add 2 slices of bread with the butter-side down. Add provolone and mozzarella slices to one of the slices and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Close the sandwich with the golden brown side on the outside. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, flipping ones and pressing down the sandwich, until the cheese melts. (If the cheese is not melted, but the bread is done, you can put a lid on your skillet and let it cook for 2-3 more minutes.)
  • Drizzle honey right before serving.

Air fryer

  • Pre-heat air fryer to 375ºF (190ºC). Spread ½ tablespoon butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by adding sliced cheese on the side of the bread that isn't buttered and close with another slice of bread with the butter-side up.
  • Transfer the sandwich to the air fryer basket, and cook for 3 minutes. Then, flip and cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Drizzle honey right before serving.

Oven

  • Pre-heat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Spread ½ tablespoon butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by adding sliced cheese on the side of the bread that isn't buttered and close with another slice of bread with the butter-side up.
  • Transfer sandwiches to a baking sheet and bake for 5-6 minutes, then flip and bake for another 5-6 minutes or until golden brown on both sides and melty on the inside. Drizzle honey right before serving.

Notes

Storage
Fridge: Let the sandwich cool completely. Wrap in foil and refrigerate for 3-4 days.
Freezer: This recipe is not freezer-friendly.
To reheat
Stovetop: Heat a skillet over medium-low until hot. Add a little bit of butter and once melted, add the sandwich. Place on a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove the lid, flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes with no lid on, until warmed through and melty inside.
Oven: Pre-heat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Add sandwich to a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, then flip and bake for 5 more minutes.
Microwave: We don't recommend this method. However, if you want to do it, first transfer grilled cheese to a plate and cover it with a microwave-safe lid. Cook for 1 minute or until warmed through.
