Ingredients
For the Grilled Cheese Sandwich:

Equipment
- Barbecue Grill
Instructions
For the Grilled Cheese Sandwich:
- Heat the BBQ grill on medium heat.
- Spread softened butter on both sides of each piece of bread.
- To the preheated grill, add the buttered slices of bread.
- Cook until there are light grill marks on one side (about 4 minutes) then turn the pieces of bread over.
- To each of the sides of the bread with the grill marks, add string cheese, blue cheese, orange zest, and sliced Gouda cheese.
- Then close the lid on the BBQ until the cheese is melted and there are grill marks on the bread that is grill-side down (about 5 minutes).
For Serving:
- In a small bowl, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside for just a moment.
- Next, turn one of the pieces of bread with the melted cheese over onto another piece of bread with melted cheese to make a sandwich. Repeat for the remaining 2 slices of bread with melted cheese.
- Then brush melted butter on to the top and bottom pieces of bread for each sandwich.
- Serve right away while warm.
