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

  1. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley thoroughly to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
  2. Spread Garlic Butter: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each bread slice, ensuring the surface is fully covered for maximum flavor and crispiness.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto a skillet or board. Sprinkle half of the cheese blend evenly over these slices.
  4. Complete the Sandwich: Top each with the remaining two slices of bread, buttered side facing up to form the sandwiches.
  5. Cook First Side: Heat a skillet over low heat and place the sandwiches on it. Cook each sandwich for 4 to 5 minutes until the underside is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt completely and the bread to become crisp and golden on the second side.
  7. Serve: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the skillet, slice as desired, and serve immediately while hot and gooey for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Using low heat is essential to allow the cheese to melt without burning the bread.
  • Feel free to add additional herbs or spices to the garlic butter for extra flavor.
  • Sourdough or rustic bread works particularly well for this recipe to add texture.
  • You can substitute the mozzarella and cheddar blend with your preferred cheese combination.
  • Serve with tomato soup for a comforting meal.
