Ingredients
Method
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Begin by spreading a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
On the unbuttered side of four slices, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard if using.
Layer the cheddar and Gruyère cheese on top of the mustard-coated bread, making sure to evenly distribute the cheese. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Cover with the remaining four slices of bread, buttered side out.
Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip each sandwich and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring both sides are crispy and golden.
Once done, remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before cutting into quarters for mini sandwiches.
Serve warm, garnished with finely chopped chives for an extra touch of flavor and color.
