Description
This viral “Marry Me” grilled cheese is loaded with spicy buffalo chicken and three types of melting cheese. Pan-seared until golden and crispy, it is the ultimate comfort food for two.
Ingredients
4 thick slices sourdough bread
1.5 cups cooked shredded chicken
1/3 cup buffalo sauce
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup gouda cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons mayonnaise (for the crust)
1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce and cream cheese until creamy and combined.
2. Lay out the bread slices. Distribute the cheddar cheese on two of the slices.
3. Top the cheddar with the buffalo chicken mixture.
4. Add the mozzarella and gouda cheese on top of the chicken.
5. Place the remaining bread slices on top to close the sandwiches.
6. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the outside of the top slice of bread.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches mayo-side down in the pan.
8. Spread mayonnaise on the top side (now facing up) while the bottom cooks.
9. Cook for 3-4 minutes until deep golden brown. Flip carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
10. Slice in half and serve immediately.
Notes
**Mayo vs. Butter:** Mayo has a higher smoke point than butter, meaning you can cook the sandwich longer to melt the cheese without burning the bread.
**Filling Tip:** Don’t overstuff the edges, or the filling will spill out when you flip. Keep the chicken concentrated in the center.
