Cooking Steps

1

Bring garlic herb butter to room temperature. Spread sourdough with garlic herb butter; place on a clean work surface, buttered sides up. Evenly top half the slices with 3-4 slices of cheddar. Top with remaining bread, buttered sides down.

2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add sandwiches and cook until bread is golden and cheese melts, 2-3 minutes per side. (Work in batches if necessary.)

3

Halve on a diagonal and serve.

4

RECOMMENDED: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place bag of soup in pot; cook for 20 minutes, then carefully remove. (Caution: Bag will be very hot.) Cut one corner with scissors and pour into a bowl.

5

MICROWAVE ALTERNATIVE: Cut one corner of the bag; pour soup into a microwave-safe container. (Do not microwave in cup.) Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave, stirring halfway through, 5-6 minutes. (Caution: Container and soup will be very hot.)

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: French onion soup was a hit, with many praising its fantastic taste. Some found it lacking deep caramelized onion flavor.
  • Ease of prep: Grilled cheese needed extra attention; some buttered the outside to prevent too-fast browning.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding butter to the outside of the bread for better browning. Experiment with cheese options for more flavor.
  • Portions: Cheese quantity was tight; some found 11 slices insufficient for the recommended 3-4 per sandwich.
