Description
A rich and indulgent 4 Cheese Grilled Cheese packed with mozzarella, taleggio, gorgonzola, and Parmigiano Reggiano, all melted between golden buttery bread. Perfectly crispy on the outside with irresistibly gooey cheese inside.
Ingredients
- 8 medium slices of bread
- 5–7 oz / 150-200 g fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced and patted dry
- 7 oz / 200 g Taleggio, sliced into thin wedges (approx 5 oz / 150 g without rind)
- 5 oz / 150 g Gorgonzola, sliced into thin wedges
- 1/2 cup / 40 g freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- Butter, as needed
Instructions
- Butter one side of each slice of bread. Flip half of them so they are butter-side down. On those slices layer mozzarella, then Gorgonzola, followed by Taleggio, and finish with Parmigiano Reggiano. Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Working in batches if needed, fry the sandwiches on both sides until golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is fully melted and just beginning to leak out.
- Serve immediately without slicing to keep the melted cheese inside, and enjoy while hot.
Notes
- Use sturdy bread like sourdough or country-style bread to support the heavy cheese filling.
- Pat the mozzarella dry thoroughly to prevent excess moisture and soggy bread.
- Cook over medium to medium-low heat to ensure the cheese melts fully before the bread burns.
- If desired, lightly press the sandwich with a spatula while cooking for even browning.
- Best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated gently in a skillet.
