Ingredients

  • 2 slices thick-cut sourdough bread
  • 2 tbsp softened butter

How to Make Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese

Step 1: Butter the Bread

Spread softened butter evenly over one side of each slice of sourdough.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich

Place one slice of bread, butter side down, in a cold skillet.

Layer with:

  • Sharp cheddar
  • Warm pulled pork
  • Motley Mustard
  • Monterey Jack
  • Optional pickles or crispy onions

Top with the second slice of bread, butter side up.

Step 3: Grill Until Golden

Cook over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, flipping carefully once the bread is golden brown. Continue cooking until both sides are crispy and the cheese is completely melted.

Step 4: Rest and Serve

Let the sandwich rest for one minute before slicing. Serve with kettle chips, fries, tomato soup, coleslaw, or your favourite pickle.

Pro Tips

  • Warm the pulled pork before building the sandwich for the best cheese melt.
  • Use freshly baked sourdough for the crispiest texture.
  • Cook low and slow to achieve a golden crust without burning the bread.
  • Press gently with a spatula while grilling for an even, crispy finish.
