Ok so maybe I put a little bit too much cheese in this grilled cheese sandwich because it’s spilling over the sides.

Or can there ever be too much cheese in a grilled cheese sandwich?

Maybe not.

About this Recipe

This grilled cheese is packed full of marinated artichokes.

I’ll be honest, this tasty morsel of a sandwich does have its fair share of cheese in it too.

Actually, it has 3 kinds of cheese in it, smoked gouda, cheddar and mozzarella.

I mean, what’s a grilled cheese sandwich without a lot of cheese in it anyway, right?

My favorite part about this grilled cheese, besides all of it, is how delicious the smoky Gouda cheese tastes with the marinated artichokes.

Big bites are definitely required when eating this sandwich.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Slices of sourdough bread (or your favorite bread), smoked Gouda cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, marinated artichoke hearts, butter and granulated garlic

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.

Artichoke Hearts and Cheese:

First, cut the bigger pieces of artichoke hearts in half…

…then shred the cheese.

TIP – A cheese shredder that has smaller holes works well so the cheese melts faster.

Butter:

Heat a medium size skillet on low heat and add half of the butter.

Toast:

When the butter melts, add the bread.

Let the bread toast until the bottom side is a golden color.

Then remove it from the pan on to a plate for just a moment.

Granulated Garlic:

Add the other half of the butter and the granulated garlic.

Stir together…

…and put the bread back in the pan with the untoasted side face down.

Top each slice of bread with each type of cheese…

…and on one slice of bread (per sandwich) top with the artichoke hearts.

Melt the Cheese and Serve:

Carefully turn over the non-artichoke slice of bread on top of the artichokes to make a sandwich.

Let the sandwich continue to toast on low heat until the cheese melts.

Be careful to watch that the bottom sides of the bread don’t get too brown.

Turn the heat down if needed.

Serve right away while warm.
