From the Test Kitchen

In this recipe, grilled cheese gets an easy, elegant makeover with two kinds of melty cheeses and earthy cremini mushrooms layered between slices of sourdough. For refreshing contrast to these rich sandwiches, you’ll make a side salad of arugula and nectarine—a juicy, seasonal fruit with sweet flavor.

Add half the vinegar. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the liquid has cooked off. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

Loosely cover the pan with foil and cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and the cheese has melted (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil before flipping). Transfer to a cutting board; immediately season with salt. Carefully halve on an angle.
