Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 4 slices sourdough or French country bread
  • 4 Tbsp room temp butter
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 2 Tbsp Everything Bagel Seasoning I like Trader Joe's "Everything but the Bagel"
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  • Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium or medium-low heat, depending on how your burner runs - you don't want to burn the bagel seasoning, so go with lower to be safe.
  • In a pie plate, combine the grated parmesan and everything bagel seasoning to coat the outside of the bread. Spread a layer of butter on the outsides of the bread for the sandwich (one side only) and then press to adhere to the grated parmesan and bagel seasoning on the outside of the bread.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp of butter in the skillet, and lay the bread down, top with cheese (1/2 each of the cheddar and mozzarella), then top with the other slice of bread and cover with tinfoil or a lid to help melt the cheese. Flip after a few minutes when the cheese has formed a golden crust.
  • Serve warm with ketchup on the side!

Notes

There are many variations of everything bagel seasoned grilled cheese, and many of them use the bagels themselves.  This variation is credit to Half Baked Harvest, using the parmesan to help form a golden crust - it's literally sandwich perfection, and goes great with creamy tomato soup....
