Brisket Grilled Cheese
Transform leftover brisket into a mouthwatering treat with this Brisket Grilled Cheese recipe! Smoky brisket, gooey melted cheese, and perfectly crispy bread come together for a sandwich that's bursting with flavor.
Servings: 2 Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 6-8 slices leftover brisket, heat up slightly in microwave
- 4 pieces Texas toast, thick bread
- 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 slices Pepper Jack cheese
- Butter or mayonnaise
Instructions
- Add butter or mayonnaise to one side of each slice of bread.
- Using a large frying pan, griddle, or skillet, heat over medium heat.
- Place the bread butter/mayonnaise side down in the hot pan.
- Add a slice of cheddar cheese, 2-3 slices of brisket, and pepper jack cheese.
- Top with bread, butter/mayonnaise side up, and cook over medium until golden on both sides and the cheese is melted.
- Can place a lid on the pan to help melt the cheese.
- Repeat with the remaining sandwich.
- Cut in half and enjoy.
Notes
- Don’t rush the cooking time: Keeping the heat on medium will prevent the bread from burning before the cheese is melted, so don’t raise the temperature; give the heat a little time to do its job.
- Great cheese melt: For the best cheese melt, use sliced cheese or grate your own cheese. The pre-shredded kind has an anticaking agent that can make it clump instead of melt.
- Give them a little room: The most important tip is not to overcrowd your skillet. You want a little space between the sandwiches so that they cook evenly.
