Cheddar and Gruyere Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Honey

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.

And it’s an easy recipe to whip up in the kitchen that anyone is sure to enjoy. So let’s get to it!

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!

Why you’ll love this Gruyere grilled cheese

• It’s delicious for lunch, dinner and maybe a midnight snack!
• You only need 5 ingredients for this recipe.
• The saltiness of the cheese pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the honey for the most craveworthy grilled cheese sandwich.

Generally I always have bread and cheese on hand; however, 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 needed to make this grilled cheese sandwich

Sourdough bread: The flavour of sourdough bread is my personal favourite but you can truly use any bread you have on hand.

Gruyere cheese: Brings the perfect saltiness when combined with the other cheese and pairs lovely with the honey drizzle!

Old cheddar cheese: The best match to the Gruyere cheese in this sandwich.

Butter: A must to spread on the outside of the bread prior to cooking.

Honey: A drizzle of honey takes this Gruyere grilled cheese to epic levels! And, if you want to amp up the flavour even more, add a sprinkle of fresh thyme.

I’m just going to say it – this Cheddar and Gruyere Grilled Cheese is pretty special! And, easy to whip up in the kitchen so let’s get to it.

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!
