Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 2 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or your choice)
Filling
- 3 oz chorizo, casing removed and crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
Other
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
- Cook Chorizo: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the crumbled chorizo until fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
- Assemble Sandwich: Butter one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered sides, evenly distribute the cooked chorizo and shredded cheese, then top with the other slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
- Grill Sandwich: Place the sandwich in a preheated skillet over medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese has melted completely.
- Serve: Remove from skillet, let sit for one minute, slice, and enjoy your crispy, melty chorizo grilled cheese sandwich.
Notes
- Use a good melting cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack for best results.
- Drain excess chorizo grease to prevent soggy bread.
- Press the sandwich gently while grilling for even cooking and better melting.
- Add sliced tomatoes or avocado for extra flavor variations.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
