# What You'll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 2 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
04 - Pinch of salt
05 - Pinch of black pepper
→ Cheese
06 - 4 ounces Havarti cheese, sliced
→ Bread & Spreads
07 - 4 slices artisan or sourdough bread
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
# How to Make It:
01 - Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced leeks, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are soft and deeply caramelized, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
02 - Lay out all bread slices. Spread one side of each slice with softened butter, ensuring even coverage.
03 - Place two bread slices, buttered side down, on a clean work surface. Evenly distribute caramelized leeks on top. Layer with Havarti cheese slices. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
04 - Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula for even heat distribution and melting.
05 - Remove sandwiches from skillet and slice diagonally in half. Serve immediately while warm.
