Ingredients

  • 1 oz soft goat cheese
  • 1.5 oz Manchego cheese, shredded
  • 1.5 oz Fontina cheese, shredded (I've used Havarti or Mozzarella)
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 1 tsp thyme leaves, chopped
  • 3-4 Tbs Parmesan cheese (finely ground)
  • 4 slices of rustic Italian bread (Pugliese, or Ciabatta)
  • 2 Tbs butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 °F.

  2. Butter one side of each bread slice (the top and bottom sides of the sandwich).

  3. Mix the goat cheese, Manchego and Fontina cheeses, together with the pressed garlic, and thyme, until well combined.   

  4. Divide the cheese mixture equally between the two sandwiches.

  5. Spread the Parmesan cheese on a flat surface, and press each buttered side of the sandwiches into the Parmesan cheese until it's covered with cheese crumbs all over.

  6. Place the sandwiches on an oven-safe pan, and into the hot oven.  Cook for 6-7 minutes, until the cheeses have melted, and the top and bottom are nicely browned and crispy.

Recipe Notes

Depending on how big your slices of bread are, you might need to increase the amount of cheese.  I used Trader Joe's Pugliese bread slices which aren't very big.
