Ingredients
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, combine the softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley thoroughly to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Spread Butter on Bread: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each bread slice, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor and crispiness.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place two slices of bread on a skillet or cutting board, buttered side down. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over each slice.
- Top Sandwich: Cover each with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing up, to complete the sandwich assembly.
- Cook One Side: Heat a skillet over low heat and cook the sandwiches for 4 to 5 minutes on one side until the bread turns a golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until the cheese inside melts thoroughly and the bread is evenly crisp and golden.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese from the heat, slice as desired, and serve immediately for a warm, gooey treat.
Notes
- Use low heat to prevent burning and ensure the cheese melts perfectly inside.
- Feel free to use your favorite bread type; sourdough or Italian bread works great.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a bit of grated Parmesan on the butter before grilling.
- You can add extras like sliced tomatoes or cooked bacon for variation.
- Serve with a side of tomato soup for a classic pairing.
