INGREDIENTS
- 4 slices of sourdough bread
- 200 g Comté extra vieux AOP cheese
- 150 g Le Gruyère AOP cheese
- 125 g Mozzarella FiorDiLatte cheese
- 30 g butter
- Dijon mustard
- Fresh chives
INSTRUCTIONS
- 1Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
- 2Line a pan suitable for the oven with baking paper, add butter, and let it melt over low heat.
- 3Spread Dijon mustard on one side of the bread slices. Place them in the heated pan with the spread side facing up. If you don't have a large enough pan, prepare the toasts in batches.
- 4Grate all the cheeses and mix them together. Trim the hard edges from the Comté and Gruyère cheeses – you can save these for use in a vegetable soup base to add a richer flavor.
- 5Generously sprinkle the cheese mixture over the bread slices in the pan, allowing some cheese to hang over the edges. After baking, a crispy cheese crust will form, adding great texture to the toast.
- 6Cook over low heat for 3–5 minutes until the cheese starts to melt and slightly golden at the edges. At this point, place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 2–3 minutes until the bread is beautifully crispy.
- 7After baking, remove the pan from the oven (be careful of the hot handle) and carefully transfer the bread with the baking paper to a work surface. Sprinkle with chopped chives and join the slices to form a sandwich.
Tip
1) Filling variation - add sliced ham, crispy bacon, or tomato slices.
2) Sweet and savory version - after baking, drizzle the sandwich with honey or spread with cranberry jam – both pair excellently with the cheeses.
3) For extra crispiness, you can mix butter with a bit of grated Parmesan and spread it on the outside of the bread before toasting.
