Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese Recipe
Servings: 1-2
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Ingredients:
-
2 slices of bread (Italian, sourdough, or French work best)
-
2-3 tbsp softened butter
-
1-2 garlic cloves, minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
-
1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
-
1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
-
Make the garlic butter: Mix softened butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a small bowl.
-
Assemble the sandwich:
-
Spread garlic butter on one side of each bread slice.
-
Place one slice butter-side down in a cold skillet.
-
Pile on the shredded cheese, then top with the second slice, butter-side up.
-
-
Cook low and slow:
-
Heat the skillet over medium-low heat (this ensures the cheese melts before the bread burns).
-
Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes.
-
-
Serve hot:
-
Remove from the pan, slice, and enjoy immediately!
-
Pro Tips:

Add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

For extra crispiness, press the sandwich lightly with a spatula while cooking.
