Start by preheating a skillet over medium to low heat. The key to a perfect grilled cheese is a low and slow approach, allowing the cheese to melt while the bread gets perfectly crispy.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and olive oil. Using a brush, lightly brush each slice of bread on one side with the mixture. This will give it that incredible golden-brown crust.
Once the skillet is hot, place two slices of bread in the skillet, butter side down. The sizzle should be satisfying, indicating it’s working its magic!
Now, layer a slice of cheddar cheese followed by a slice of Havarti cheese on top of the bread in the skillet. These cheeses melt beautifully, creating that gooey goodness we crave.
Top with another slice of bread, butter side facing up. This forms your sandwich!
Cook the sandwich until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown. This usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes.
Carefully flip the sandwich over using a spatula. Cook until the other side is also golden brown, and the cheese has melted, which should take another 2 to 3 minutes.
Once it's ready, carefully remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing. This helps the cheese set a bit.
Repeat the process for all remaining ingredients until you’ve made as many sandwiches as desired. Serve warm and enjoy with a bowl of creamy tomato soup for the ultimate experience.
