Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 2 slices of sturdy bread such as sourdough or rye

Roast Beef

  • Thinly sliced roast beef, about 4-6 oz

Cheese Blend

  • Cheddar cheese, shredded, 1/4 cup
  • Provolone cheese, sliced or shredded, 1/4 cup
  • Mozzarella cheese, shredded, 1/4 cup

Butter and Condiments

  • Butter, for spreading on bread, about 2 tablespoons
  • Dijon mustard, for spreading, 1 tablespoon

Optional Add-Ins

  • Caramelized onions, 2 tablespoons
  • Pickles, sliced, 2 tablespoons
  • Horseradish sauce, as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Slice the bread if necessary. Thinly slice or shred the roast beef. Shred or slice the cheddar, provolone, and mozzarella cheeses. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of each bread slice to add a subtle tang.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of bread, layer the roast beef evenly. Generously pile on the cheese blend. If desired, add optional toppings such as caramelized onions or pickles. Place the second slice of bread on top, mustard side facing inward.
  3. Butter the Bread: Spread butter evenly on the outside of both bread slices. This will help create a golden, crispy crust when cooking.
  4. Cook the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Press lightly with a spatula or grill press to ensure even cooking and melting.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute to allow the cheese to settle. Slice diagonally and serve warm, enjoying the melty cheese and savory roast beef in every bite.

Notes

  • Let roast beef and cheeses sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before assembling to improve melting.
  • Use medium-low heat to avoid burning the bread while ensuring the cheese melts thoroughly.
  • Press the sandwich gently while cooking to compact the ingredients and enhance melting.
  • Butter evenly on the bread to prevent uneven browning or sogginess.
  • Avoid overfilling to maintain easy flipping and cooking.
  • Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the fridge and reheat in a skillet for best texture.
  • Freeze wrapped in foil and bag for up to 1 month; thaw overnight before reheating.
