Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread one side of each sourdough slice with black truffle butter. Place 4 slices buttered side up on a clean work surface. Evenly top with cheddar slices. Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered side down.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the skillet (work in batches if needed) and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board, slice diagonally and serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy bread, use a cast-iron skillet and press the sandwich gently with a spatula while cooking.
Let the truffle butter come to room temperature for easier spreading.
If your cheese isn’t melting fast enough, cover the pan with a lid for the last minute of cooking.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of bread?
Yes, any sturdy bread like ciabatta or brioche works, but sourdough’s tanginess complements the truffle butter best.
What can I substitute for truffle butter?
Regular unsalted butter mixed with a few drops of truffle oil can mimic the flavor. Alternatively, use plain butter and add a sprinkle of truffle salt.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Use dairy-free butter and vegan cheddar-style shreds. The truffle flavor will still shine through.
