This Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese recipe combines the rich, buttery flavors of garlic bread with the comforting melt of a classic grilled cheese sandwich.

Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
  2. Spread Butter on Bread: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture onto one side of each slice of bread, ensuring the entire surface is covered for maximum flavor.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Place two slices of bread butter-side down onto a skillet or cutting board. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese blend evenly over each slice. Then top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up, to complete the sandwiches.
  4. Heat Skillet: Preheat a skillet over low heat to gently toast the sandwiches without burning the garlic butter.
  5. Cook First Side: Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes on one side until the bread turns golden brown and crispy.
  6. Flip and Cook Second Side: Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook the other side for another 4–5 minutes. Continue cooking until the cheese inside has fully melted and the bread is evenly toasted.
  7. Serve: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the skillet. Slice and serve immediately while hot, allowing the cheese to be gooey and the bread to retain its crispy texture.

Notes

  • Use low heat to prevent the garlic butter from burning while allowing the cheese to melt thoroughly.
  • For extra flavor, fresh minced garlic can replace garlic powder.
  • Feel free to add extras like sliced tomatoes or cooked bacon inside the sandwich before grilling.
  • Use a non-stick skillet for easier cooking and cleanup.
  • Leftover sandwiches can be reheated in a skillet or oven to restore crispiness.
