4 slices white sandwich bread

1/2 cup shredded mild cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella cheese

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, divided

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Spread Nutella on 2 bread slices. Top with cheese, then close up sandwiches with 2 remaining bread slices.

    Heat 1 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium until melted. Cook sandwiches, turning once and adding remaining 1 Tbsp. butter halfway through, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted, 4–6 minutes.

  • Hey JCHESTE, thanks for the not-so-subtle jab. Unlike your country, at least we don't have a man-child leading ours. Yay Canada!

  • I used a sharp cheddar cheese, as I’m a big fan of salty and sweet. This recipe was really good. I didn’t know what to expect. I’ll make it agin. I made the mistake of putting Nutella on both sides of the bread. Don’t do that. Your cheese has nothing to stick to and just slides off.

  • Wow, what a great sandwich. I never would have thought this would be so good. Unlike other countries, we in the US like to actually make a recipe before we rate it good or bad.

  • Omg no. Brie works so much better with Nutella. I make Nutella grilled cheese sandwiches all the time. The mildness of Brie doesn't overwhelm the Nutella. And sandwich bread, seriously? Try it on slices of a crusty country loaf instead.
