Upgrade a classic with the ultimate Blackstone Grilled Cheese sandwich. The heavy flat top griddle provides incredibly steady, even heat, ensuring edge-to-edge golden, crispy bread and a perfectly gooey, melted center every single time. It is simple, nostalgic, and absolutely delicious.
Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-cut bread (Sourdough, Texas Toast, or classic white bread)
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise or softened butter (for the outside of the bread)
- 8 slices Cheddar cheese (medium or sharp)
- 8 slices Gruyère or Provolone cheese (for the perfect cheese pull)
- 1 tbsp Butter (optional, for the griddle surface)
Instructions
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-low heat. It is crucial to use a gentler heat so the cheese melts completely before the bread burns.
- Lay out your 8 slices of bread. Spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise (or softened butter) on one side of every slice. This will be the outside of your sandwich.
- Place 4 slices of bread onto the griddle, mayo/butter side down.
- Immediately build your sandwiches directly on the griddle. Place 2 slices of Cheddar and 2 slices of Gruyère (or Provolone) onto each piece of bread.
- Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread, making sure the mayo/butter side is facing up.
- Let the sandwiches cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes. Check the bottom; it should be a beautiful, even golden brown.
- Carefully slide your spatula completely under each sandwich and flip. Press down very gently.
- Cook the second side for another 4-5 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is completely melted and oozing from the sides.
- Remove from the griddle, let them rest for just a minute so the cheese sets slightly, slice diagonally, and serve immediately!
