This recipe features a combination of Gruyere and Mozzarella cheeses mixed with Saltspring Kitchen's Onion & Thyme Savoury Spread, which adds a unique and flavourful touch to this classic comfort food.

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp butter, room temperature or softened
• 1 large clove of garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
• Sea salt & black pepper to taste
• Saltspring Kitchen Onion & Thyme Savoury Spread
• 2 oz. Gruyere cheese, grated
• 2 oz. Mozzarella cheese, grated
• 4 slices bread, cut no wider than ½ inch thick

Directions

1. Mix softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
2. Add 4 tbsp of Onion & Thyme spread to the shredded cheese and stir to combine.
3. Put down two slices of bread, and scoop half of the cheese-onion mixture onto each one. Top with the remaining slices of bread and press down gently.
4. Spread 1 tbsp of the butter mixture onto one side of the sandwich.
5. Heat the skillet over medium heat and add the sandwiches.
6. Cook until the bottoms turn golden brown, 3-4 minutes, reducing the heat to prevent toast from darkening too quickly if needed.
7. Flip the sandwiches, spread the remaining butter and press down and cook until the cheese has fully melted and the bottoms turn golden brown, 3-4 minutes.
8. Serve immediately with extra Onion & Thyme spread on the side.

This recipe is a perfect lunch or snack option.
