The secret to making a great grilled cheese sandwich is to cook your bread over low heat while slathering your bread with butter. This recipe uses Compte cheese which  is very much like gruyere but made in France. Gruyère-type cheeses are made in northwestern Switzerland and the adjacent parts of France. It is usually a pale golden-tawny color. Gruyere is a mild, semi hard cheese with a nutty flavor. It matches perfectly with this wonderful comfort food sandwich.

The Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Makes 2 Servings

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 1/2" thick slices sourdough bread

1 8 ounce piece Compte cheese, grated

1. Spread butter evenly on both sides of each slice of bread. Put half the cheese on one slice and half on another. Top each with remaining bread slices. Heat in a 12" cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.

2. Add sandwiches to skillet and cook, flipping once with a metal spatula, until golden brown and crusty on both sides, 18-20 minutes. Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board and slice in half with a knife. Serve warm.
