Ingredients

  • 8 thick slices of brioche bread
  • 3 Tbsp butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1 ⅓ cups baby greens spinach, arugula, kale, or a mix
  • 1 Tbsp avocado or grapeseed oil

Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  • Preheat a flat griddle or 2 cast iron skillets to medium.
  • Butter one side of each slice of brioche. Flip 4 slices over. Place a small handful of cheese on the unbuttered side of the bread.
  • Add some greens and top with another layer of cheese.
  • Place the other slice of bread, buttered side up, on top of each sandwich.
  • Add the oil to the griddle or skillets. This will help to keep the butter from burning.
  • Place the sandwiches on the griddle or in the pans. Lower the heat to medium-low. Cook the sandwiches until golden brown, approximately 2-1/2 minutes. Flip over and cook for another 2-1/2 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  • Remove the sandwiches to a cutting board and slice them on the diagonal. Serve immediately.
