Sweet Potato Cheddar Grilled Cheese

Cheddar: sharp & tangy, gets better with age

Ingredients

1 teaspoon sugar

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

2 slices sourdough bread

¾ cup (3 ounces) Wisconsin White Cheddar Cheese; shredded

½ baked sweet potato; skin removed and cut into ½-inch steaks (vertical slices)

1 tablespoon salted butter

Directions

In small bowl or ramekin, combine sugar and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.

Layer half Cheddar onto 1 sourdough slice and cover with sweet potato steaks. Top with remaining cheese and remaining sourdough slice. Butter top sourdough slice and sprinkle half cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.

Heat medium skillet over medium-low; add sandwich, cinnamon-sugar butter-sidedown.* Press with spatula and cook 5-6 minutes until cheese starts to melt and cinnamon-sugar starts to crystalize, forming golden crust. Before flipping, butter top sourdough slice and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Flip sandwich, pressing down to ensure even grilling. Cook another 3-4 minutes until both sides are golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest at least 1 minute before serving.

*Note: If your pan is too hot, the cinnamon-sugar will burn before it turns into a crispy crust.
