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
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley thoroughly to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- 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.
- 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.
- Complete the Sandwich: Top each with the remaining two slices of bread, buttered side facing up to form the sandwiches.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
