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, mix the softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley thoroughly until fully combined into a smooth garlic butter spread.
- Spread the butter: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread, covering the entire surface to maximize flavor.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, on a skillet or cutting board. Distribute half of the shredded cheese evenly on each slice. Top with the remaining slices, butter-side up, forming two sandwiches.
- Heat the skillet: Preheat a skillet over low heat to ensure gentle cooking that prevents burning and allows the cheese to melt perfectly.
- Cook the sandwiches: Place the sandwiches on 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 another 4 to 5 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is golden and crisp.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the skillet, slice as desired, and serve immediately while hot and gooey for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use softened butter for easy mixing and smooth spreading.
- Low heat cooking prevents burning and ensures the cheese melts thoroughly.
- You can substitute bread types according to your preference, but thicker slices hold the cheese better.
- Add extra herbs or spices to the garlic butter for an even more flavorful twist.
- Serve with a side salad or soup for a complete meal.
