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 softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley until the mixture is well combined and smooth, creating a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Spread Butter on Bread: Spread the garlic butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring full coverage to impart that signature garlicky flavor and crispiness.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place two slices of bread butter-side down on a skillet or clean board. Evenly distribute half of the shredded cheese blend over these slices. Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up, to complete each sandwich.
- Cook First Side: Heat a skillet over low heat to prevent burning. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes until the bottom side is golden brown and crispy.
- Cook Second Side: Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook the other side for an additional 4–5 minutes. This will ensure the cheese melts thoroughly and the bread becomes crispy on both sides.
- Serve: Remove the grilled sandwiches from the skillet, slice as desired, and serve immediately while the cheese is hot and gooey for the best eating experience.
Notes
- Use low heat during cooking to ensure the cheese melts without the bread burning.
- Softened butter spreads more evenly, creating better flavor and texture.
- This sandwich pairs perfectly with tomato soup for a classic and comforting combo.
- Customize by using your favorite cheese blends or adding extras like sliced tomatoes or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
