I cannot think of a better comfort dish than this Cheddar and Gruyere Grilled Cheese with Honey.

With a combination of sourdough bread, two cheeses and topped with honey and fresh thyme, this will soon become one of your favourites too.

Let’s face it: any cheese can be used to make a fantastic grilled cheese sandwich! I’ve tried everything from parmesan, goat cheese, mozzarella, swiss and brie. However, the combination of gruyere and cheddar cheese creates a perfectly gooey, melty, drool-worthy, melted cheese combo that just can’t be beat. Trust me – you’ve got to add these two kinds of cheese to your next shopping list!

Grilled cheese has been a go-to for me for lunch, dinner and maybe a midnight-snack here and there because generally I always have bread and cheese on hand. So, let’s get to my latest grilled cheese obsession!

I love using sourdough for grilled cheese because it adds a little extra flavour. With this recipe I combined two cheeses to amp up the flavour even MORE and the honey drizzle goes beautifully with both. Plus, a little sprinkle of thyme goes a long way to bring all of the flavours of this grilled cheese recipe together.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices fresh sourdough bread
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 75 g old white cheddar, grated (about 3/4 cup grated cheese)
  • 75 g gruyere cheese, grated (about 3/4 cup grated cheese)
  • honey to drizzle
  • fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Grate both cheeses, mix together and set aside. Next, lay out your bread slices and spread one side of each piece of bread with butter. 

  2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium/medium-low heat and allow the pan to heat up for a couple of minutes. 

  3. Place 2 slices of bread butter side down into the pan. Divide the cheese evenly between the 2 slices of bread and then place the other slices of bread butter side up to complete each sandwich.

  4. Cook for about 5 minutes. Then press each sandwich down a bit to flatten and flip the sandwich. 

  5. Cook until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.

  6. Remove from the pan, drizzle with honey and fresh thyme leaves, and then serve immediately!

Deliciously cheesy, the honey pairs perfectly with the salty cheddar and gruyere cheese and the fresh thyme adds a little punch of freshness.

I could eat this Cheddar and Gruyere Grilled Cheese sandwich every, single, day. And, for a complete cozy meal, enjoy your sandwich with a side of chopped apple and my Roasted Tomato Soup!

    Melted gruyere on bread is so delicious, so I know I would love this grilled cheese! It’s cold and windy here today, so this would be awesome with a bowl of hot soup right now!

    Yum! Definitely making this with some tomato soup this weekend. Nothing like grilled cheese for comfort food once the chill sets into the fall air.

This is one of my favourite ways to make salads in This is one of my favourite ways to make salads in the winter - ROAST some fav veggies together and then add them to salad greens, topped with feta, walnuts and a balsamic dressing. 

The best part is you can mix and match what you like so carrots would be delish, chopped almonds or goat cheese are great substitutes. 

Here’s generally how I make it:

1 large sweet potato, cubed
4 golden beets, peeled and cubed
12 Brussels sprouts, quartered 
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Salad greens
Chopped walnuts
Feta 

Dressing: Mix together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1x garlic clove minced, salt and pepper 

Toss the vegetables with a couple tablespoons olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast at 415 F for 30-35 minutes or until done to your liking. Add veggies to your favourite salad greens and top with nuts, cheese and dressing.
