- 1 Pellet smoker
Ingredients
- 2 slices of fresh sourdough bread
- 86 g of mozzarella dried
- 86 g of smoked gouda
- 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter
Instructions
Step 1: Pre-heating the Grill
- Preheat the grill to 450°F, placing the cast iron pan directly on the grill grates and allowing it to heat for 5-10 mins.
Step 2: Assembling the Grilled Cheese

Step 3: Cooking the Grilled Cheese
- Place half a tablespoon of butter in the hot cast iron pan, laying the grilled cheese in the pan and letting it sizzle.
- Cook for about 8-10 min per side, checking every 3 mins to ensure a golden crust is forming.
