Ingredients
  

  • 4 ½- inch slices of sourdough bread
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 4 ounces cheddar cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Heat a griddle pan or cast-iron skillet. Brush 4 slices of bread with melted butter. Turn two pieces of bread over and place ½ of the cheese on each piece. Place the other 2 pieces of bread on top of the cheese, butter side up.
  • Grill the sandwiches on one side for about 3 minutes on medium-high heat, adding a little weight or pressing the sandwich down while cooking. Turn the sandwiches over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bread is nicely browned.
  • Remove sandwiches to a cutting board and allow to rest for about 2 minutes. Cut each sandwich into one-inch cubes.

Notes

These croutons are perfect in tomato soup or with a panzanella salad.
