Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Butter Spread
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Main Ingredients
- 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, garlic powder, and dried parsley until smooth and fully combined to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Butter the Bread: Evenly apply the garlic butter mixture on one side of each bread slice, covering the surface completely to infuse maximum flavor.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place two slices of bread butter-side down on a skillet or clean cutting board, spread half the shredded cheese evenly over each, then top with the remaining bread slices butter-side up to form sandwiches.
- Preheat Skillet: Warm a skillet over low heat to ensure gentle cooking that avoids burning the garlic bread while allowing the cheese to melt.
- Cook Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is golden and crisp on both sides.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the skillet, slice as desired, and serve immediately while hot and gooey for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use low heat to prevent burning the garlic butter and bread during cooking.
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper or chili flakes in the garlic butter.
- Choose a sturdy bread like sourdough or Italian for best texture and grilling results.
- If preferred, experiment with different cheese blends for varied flavor profiles.
