A delicious twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich featuring a flavorful garlic butter spread and a melty blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, perfect for a cozy meal or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Butter Spread
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Sandwich
- 4 slices of bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
Instructions
- Prepare the garlic butter: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the softened butter with garlic powder and dried parsley until well combined, creating a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Butter the bread slices: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each of the four bread slices, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Place two bread slices butter-side down on a clean skillet or wooden board. Distribute half of the shredded cheese blend evenly over each slice.
- Complete the sandwiches: Top each with the remaining two bread slices, butter-side up, forming two sandwiches with the garlic butter on the outside.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over low heat, allowing it to warm gently to prevent burning and allow thorough melting.
- Cook the sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on one side, until the bread turns golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and cook the other side: Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts completely and the bread is golden and crisp on both sides.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice as desired, and serve immediately while hot, gooey, and flavorful.
Notes
- Use low heat to prevent the bread from burning before the cheese melts.
- Feel free to use your favorite bread, such as sourdough or whole wheat, for different textures and flavors.
- Adding a slice of tomato or cooked bacon inside the sandwich can add extra flavor and texture.
- For crispier bread, press the sandwich gently with a spatula while cooking.
- Make sure the butter is softened to easily blend with the garlic powder and parsley.
