Description
A quick and indulgent garlic bread grilled cheese, featuring a garlicky butter spread and a gooey blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder (or 1 clove fresh garlic, minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley)
- 4 slices of bread (country white, sourdough, or thick sandwich bread)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley until smooth and evenly combined. Taste and adjust garlic or parsley to your liking.
- Spread the garlic butter on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring every bite gets flavor.
- Place two slices butter-side down in a cold skillet and divide the shredded cheese evenly over them.
- Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
- Heat the skillet over low heat and cook the sandwiches gently for 4–5 minutes per side, using a lid for the first 2 minutes to trap heat.
- Flip carefully with a spatula, press lightly, and cook until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove sandwiches, let rest for 30–60 seconds, slice, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter and a vegan shredded cheese that melts. Whole wheat or seeded bread adds texture while slightly thicker slices hold more cheese.
