Description

This Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese recipe is a quick and delicious 15-minute lunch idea combining the flavors of garlic butter and gooey melted cheese toasted to golden perfection. It’s an easy skillet-cooked sandwich with a crispy, buttery crust infused with garlic and parsley, perfect for a satisfying comfort meal.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
