Sage Butter Grilled Cheese

Step 1

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once your butter has melted, add the sage leaves and lower heat. With a wooden spoon, stir the sages leaves around in the butter until the butter begins to brown and the sage leaves get crispy.

Step 2

Remove pan from the heat and add salt. Remove crispy sage leaves and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat (I prefer cast iron).

Step 4

Assemble each sandwich by dividing the two cheeses evenly onto four of the slices of bread.

Step 5

Add a few crispy sage leaves on top of the cheese. Top with remaining slices of bread, pressing down lightly to form the sandwiches.

Step 6

Brush the outside of the bread slices with the sage butter and add them to the pan. I also drizzle sage butter directly into skillet while sandwiches are cooking.

Step 7

Cook until the bread is nice and crispy and a dark golden color, and the cheese is starting to melt. Flip sandwiches and do the same on the other side.

Step 8

Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey!
