Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Butter
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Sandwich
- 4 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or whole grain)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley until the ingredients are smoothly combined to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Spread Butter on Bread: Generously spread the garlic butter on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor and crispiness.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place two slices of bread butter-side down on a heated skillet or griddle. Evenly divide the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend and spread half on each slice of bread.
- Add Top Slices: Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of the cheese, butter-side up, forming two sandwiches ready for grilling.
- Cook Sandwiches: Cook on low heat for 4 to 5 minutes until the bottom side is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese has melted completely.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice diagonally to enhance presentation, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Notes
- Use low heat to prevent the bread from burning before the cheese melts.
- Feel free to use any cheese blend you prefer for different flavor profiles.
- For an extra kick, add some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce inside the sandwich before cooking.
- Serve with tomato soup or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Whole grain bread adds more fiber and nutrients, making the sandwich a bit healthier.
