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 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: Evenly spread the prepared garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor and crispness.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a flat surface or skillet. Distribute half of the shredded cheese blend evenly over each slice, then cover with the remaining bread slices, butter side up, forming two sandwiches.
- Heat the Skillet: Warm a skillet over low heat to avoid burning the garlic butter and to allow the cheese to melt slowly.
- Cook One Side: Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes on one side until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook the other side for an additional 4–5 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts completely and the bread crisps evenly.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the skillet, slice as desired, and serve immediately while the cheese is hot and gooey.
Notes
- Use low heat to prevent the garlic butter from burning before the cheese melts.
- Feel free to substitute bread types such as sourdough or whole wheat for variation.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese inside before grilling.
- Use a non-stick skillet or lightly grease the pan if needed to prevent sticking.
- Serve with tomato soup or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
