Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Sriracha Grilled Cheese
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey and sriracha sauce to create your sweet and spicy blend.
  2. Spread a thin, even layer of the honey-sriracha mixture on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  3. Place two slices of bread butter-side down on a clean surface. Layer sharp cheddar cheese and half slices of mozzarella, then top with the second slice, sauce side facing inward.
  4. Generously spread softened unsalted butter on the outer sides of the assembled sandwiches.
  5. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place your sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  6. Once both sides are golden and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing.
