Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 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 the softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley thoroughly until well combined, creating a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Butter the bread: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of each of the four slices of bread, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
- Assemble sandwiches: Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto a skillet or cutting board. Evenly divide and place half of the shredded cheese blend over each bread slice. Then, top with the remaining two slices of bread, buttered side up, forming two sandwiches.
- Cook first side: Heat a skillet over low heat. Place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on one side, allowing the bread to become golden brown and start crisping without burning.
- Flip and cook second side: Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes on the other side, until the cheese inside has melted fully and the bread is crispy all over.
- Serve warm: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the heat, slice as desired, and serve immediately while the cheese is hot and gooey for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Use low heat to ensure the cheese melts completely without burning the bread.
- Softened butter spreads more easily and helps the garlic flavor coat the bread evenly.
- Pairs perfectly with tomato soup, making a classic and comforting combination.
- Customize with your favorite cheeses or add-ins such as sliced tomatoes or jalapeños for extra flavor.
