FANCY GRILLED CHEESE
This is your typical grilled cheese sandwich; until you add Herbs de Provence . This puts it way over the top. Also; you want to use 2 types of cheeses. I have used cheddar, gruyere, havarti, asiago, colby, Italian blend, triple cheddar blends and more. As long as you have a variety; it works really well. If using shredded cheese; substitute 1/4-1/3 cup of shredded cheese for 2 slices of cheese.

Steps:
- Lay your slices of bread out and lightly spread butter on one side of each.
- Place all the cheese on one slice of bread. Place the buttered side of the other slice on top of the cheese.
- Lightly butter the slice of bread showing.
- Sprinkle half of the herbes de provence on the buttered side.
- In a medium-hot non-stick pan, lay your sandwich, buttered side down. If it sizzles loudly; the temperature is too hot; lower it.
- Wait 1 minute; then lightly press the sandwich down. Spread butter over the last exposed slice and sprinkle the remaining herbes de provence on top.
- Depending on your temperature; your first side should cook in about 4-6 minutes. Check the edges for browning. Then flip it over and cook the 2nd side for approximately the same amount of time.
- More or less cheese can be used depending on your preference. You can also melt a tablespoon of butter in the pan to help prevent sticking.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.

- Spread butter or mayonnaise on the outside of the bread for a golden brown and crispy crust.
- Layer the fillings evenly so that each bite is packed with flavor.
- Don't overload the sandwich or it will be difficult to flip and cook evenly.
- Cook the sandwich over medium heat so that the cheese has time to melt and the bread has time to toast.
- Flip the sandwich once to ensure even cooking.
- Let the sandwich rest for a minute or two before slicing so that the cheese can set.
- Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite sides.
