Olive oil is healthier and can enhance flavor.

Start by turning on the pan to warm it up.

Butter the bread with softened butter, making sure to cover every inch.

Add flaky salt to the butter for extra flavor.

Pour about a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil into the pan.

Place the comte cheese down first in the pan as it's harder to melt.

Add aged white cheddar cheese on top of the comte cheese.

Wait for the cheese to melt before adding American cheese.

Cover the sandwich with a dome to help melt the cheese faster.

Add a little water to the pan to create steam for melting the cheese.

After about 30 seconds, check the cheese to see if it's melted.

Remove the sandwich from the heat and add the remaining butter and olive oil to the pan.

Flavor the butter with garlic and thyme.

Combine the sandwich and coat the other side with the flavored butter.

Sprinkle flaky salt over the top of the sandwich.

Let the sandwich rest for about 45 seconds to crisp up.

Decide how to cut the sandwich, either down the middle or into triangles.
