Grilled Three Cheese Sandwiches with Mustard Aioli

Crisp, creamy and peppery, these sandwiches make a spectacular simple supper or decadent late-night snack. Pair with California Zinfandel or Sauvignon Blanc. Featuring California Wines.

Ingredients

115 g	shredded Fontina cheese
60 g	shredded Jack cheese
60 g	shredded Gruyere cheese
8	rustic-style sandwich bread slices
	unsalted butter, softened
30 g	watercress, with stems
45 ml	mayonnaise
15 ml	brown, stone ground, or Dijon mustard

Step 1
Toss to mix the Fontina, Jack, and Gruyere cheeses in a medium bowl.
Step 2
Use your fingers to pinch 2 small holes, 2 inches (5cm) apart, in each slice of bread (to allow a little cheese to ooze out and make the bread extra crispy).
Step 3
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice.
Step 4
Arrange 4 of the slices, butter-side down, in a large skillet.
Step 5
Cover each slice evenly with a quarter of the cheese mixture.
Step 6
Cover the cheese with a quarter of the watercress.
Step 7
Top the watercress with the remaining slices of bread, butter-side up.
Step 8
Place the skillet over medium-low heat and cook the sandwiches for 8 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom. Turn the sandwiches and brown the other side.
Step 9
Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board, turning them so that the watercress is on top of the cheese.
Step 10
Mix the mayonnaise with the mustard to make the aioli. Remove the top slices of bread and spread the unbrowned sides with the desired amount of aioli. Replace the bread, brown-side up, on the sandwich. Serve immediately.
