Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Butter
- 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, combine softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Stir until the mixture is well blended and smooth, ensuring an even distribution of garlic and herbs.
- Butter the Bread: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice, covering the surface fully for maximum flavor infusion.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place two bread slices butter-side down on a clean skillet or cutting board. Divide half of the shredded cheese blend evenly over these slices.
- Top the Sandwiches: Cover the cheese with the remaining two bread slices, butter-side up, to complete the sandwiches and seal in the cheese.
- Cook the First Side: Heat a skillet over low heat and place the sandwiches in it. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on one side, until the bread turns golden brown and crisp.
- Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully flip the sandwiches over and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes on the other side. This ensures the cheese melts thoroughly and the bread crisps evenly.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the skillet, slice them if desired, and serve immediately while hot and gooey for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Use low heat to avoid burning the bread while allowing the cheese to melt properly.
- Try using a mix of your favorite cheese types for varied flavor and meltiness.
- For added freshness, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top before serving.
- If you prefer, you can use fresh garlic minced instead of garlic powder for a sharper flavor.
- To make this sandwich gluten-free, substitute the bread with gluten-free bread slices.
