I’ve been making grilled cheese sandwiches for the kids for over 40 years. When the kids were little, I just used 2 slices of white bread and slapped a piece of white American cheese in the center. Sauteed the sandwich until the cheese had melted and usually the kids enjoyed a bowl of tomato soup along with it.
Now that we are all adults, we look for different ways to make the classic grilled cheese. Sometimes I add various sliced meats to the sandwich or experiment with different types of cheeses. No matter how I make them, the kids still enjoy them.
The guest post recipe today is from T-fal. You can visit the company’s web site to learn more about them & the kitchen products that they sell.
Four Cheese Gourmet Grilled Cheese Recipe
1 tbsp (15 ml) melted butter
1 tbsp (15 ml) finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tbsp (15 ml) finely grated
Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch black pepper
4 slices fresh crusty bread, about 1 cm thick
4 slices medium Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup (50 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup (50 ml) shredded Gruyere cheese
Blend the butter with the parsley, Parmesan, garlic and pepper until well combined. Spread the butter mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread. Put T-fal OptiCook Fry Pan on stove over medium heat until hot.
Place a slice of Cheddar, on the unbuttered side, of 2 slices of bread. Toss the mozzarella with the Gruyere and sprinkle over the Cheddar. Cap the sandwiches with the remaining bread, buttered-side-out. Place on T-fal OptiCook Fry Pan. Lower the heat to help the cheese melt.
Check to see if bread is brown after no more than a minute and a half, although more time may be needed for desired results. When bread is brown enough, flip.
Know that the second side should brown faster so be prepared to check it in no time. When it is cooked to your satisfaction, turn off the stove, put your sandwich on a plate, and enjoy.

Grilled cheese are wonderful for kids and adults; winter and summer. They fit when you are sick or well. We often try to change ours up by adding peppers, or grilled ham, or even spicy mustard. From baking them to skillet grilling to my daughter’s often “cheater’s” grilled cheese – toast bread then just melt the cheese on the toast. I like your use of different cheeses; Gruyere would be great to try.
I think I enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches as an adult just as much as I did as a kid. This looks so good with the crusty bread and the different cheeses. Some soup on the side and what a comfort meal this would be.
I love the combination of cheeses used in this sandwich. I also think it is very important to have a good crusty bread.
Gruyere cheese! Don’t you just adore it! I also have sort of a thing for grilled sharp white cheddar with French cornichon pickles sliced on it; you should maybe try it!
OK, any grilled cheese is great, but this one looks amazing! I want to go to the kitchen right now & make myself one! Maybe, it would go with some spiced up tomato soup, lol!
(4-Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe) What a great looking grilled cheese sandwich this is. This is one that I would want to eat with a cup of tomato soup also, (yummy)
I haven’t had grilled cheese sandwiches in a long time. Our next door neighbor who used to babysit for us girls, would make us Campbell’s tomato soup and grilled cheese, one of my faves. No wonder it’s on people’s list of comfort foods.
I love a good grilled cheese and cant even bear to look at the picture right now ! We make all kinds off grilled cheese now too since we dont cook for a crowd. I like adding cream cheese and makinga lmost a pilmento (spelling) dip and making a grilled cheese. I also enjoy using cream cheese. OK I have to stop I want one now.
Okay, this recipe sounds like sheer heaven and one I must try and soon. I love grilled cheese sandwiches and this recipe is so different. I would love to try it with the minced garlic and the different cheeses. Thank you so much for sharing this one and have a great rest of the weekend.
This is food pron. Really! OMG, what is better than a mixed-cheese, melty, gooey grilled cheese sandwich? The ultimate comforrt food, and this one is for adults! That bit of garlic will make all the difference. Sometimes I use a little mayo, too. Guess what I’m having for lunch tomorrow, and I can’t wait!
Mmmmm, that looks fabulous! We had grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner tonight, by coincidence. We found some lovely bread at the store today, and right then and there decided we just had to have grilled cheese! I used three cheeses, and the sandwiches were quite good. But the next time, I am totally going to mash some garlic, herbs, and Parmesan into the butter. Genius! Thanks so much for the idea.
This gourmet grilled cheese looks so delicious, I can’t wait to give it a try. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
What’s not to love with this sandwich. I like all the flavors and ingredients.
These sandwiches sound great with garlic and fresh parsley in addition to the combination of cheeses – wow! No wonder everyone loves them, I’d like to try this!
