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, mix softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley until well combined to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Butter the Bread: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring full coverage to impart that classic garlic bread flavor.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place two slices of bread butter-side down on a skillet or cutting board. Distribute half of the shredded cheese blend evenly on each slice. Top each with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up, completing the sandwiches.
- Heat the Skillet: Warm a skillet over low heat to gently toast the sandwiches and melt the cheese without burning the bread.
- Cook One Side: Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on one side until the bread turns golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the second side is just as crispy and golden.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the heat, slice if desired, and serve immediately while hot and gooey for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Use low heat to ensure the cheese melts without burning the bread.
- Softened butter spreads more easily and evenly, enhancing garlic flavor distribution.
- Pairs perfectly with tomato soup for a classic comforting combo.
- Customize with your favorite cheese blends or add-ins like sliced tomatoes or jalapeños for extra flavor.
