Place the grated gouda cheese evenly on one slice of sourdough bread.
Drizzle crispy chili oil over the cheese, adjusting to your spice preference.
Top with the second slice of bread to form a sandwich.
Heat a pan over medium heat and melt half of the butter.
Place the sandwich in the pan and add more butter around the edges.
Spread the remaining butter on top of the sandwich.
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from heat once the cheese is fully melted.
Carefully open the sandwich and drizzle honey inside.
Close, slice, and serve your honey grilled cheese warm.
