This Copycat Zupas Ultimate Grilled Cheese is a rich, creamy sandwich with a blend of melted cheeses and a perfectly crisp golden crust. Inspired by the popular café favorite, it delivers comforting flavor and a satisfying cheesy melt.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup gruyere cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheddar, gruyere, and mozzarella cheeses.
  3. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  4. Lightly spread butter over the mayonnaise layer on each slice.
  5. Place one slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, onto the heated skillet.
  6. Sprinkle a generous portion of the cheese mixture onto the bread and top with grated parmesan.
  7. Place the second slice of bread on top with the mayonnaise side facing outward.
  8. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
  9. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook another 3–4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the other side is crisp.
  10. Remove from the skillet, let rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add sliced tomato or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
  • Crispy bacon can be added for a smoky variation.
  • Brioche or country bread can replace sourdough for a softer texture.
  • For extra creaminess, mix a small amount of cream cheese into the shredded cheese blend.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture.
