Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Butter Mixture
- 4 slices thick-cut bread (sourdough, white, or Texas toast)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for extra crispiness)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)
- Salt, to taste
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare garlic butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, and a pinch of salt. For an extra golden and crispy texture, optionally stir in mayonnaise.
- Spread garlic butter on bread: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring full coverage for rich flavor.
- Heat skillet or griddle: Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat and allow it to warm up to the right temperature for grilling.
- Assemble the sandwich in the skillet: Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in the hot skillet. Generously top each slice with an even mix of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Top with remaining bread slices: Place the remaining two slices of bread on top, buttered side facing up to create the sandwich.
- Grill sandwiches: Cook the sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes per side on medium heat, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling. Continue until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Rest and serve: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the heat and let them rest for 1 minute. Slice and serve hot to enjoy the flavorful, gooey garlic bread grilled cheese.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, adding mayonnaise to the garlic butter mixture is recommended but optional.
- Use thick-cut bread for better structure and flavor absorption.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends to suit your taste.
- Use fresh garlic and parsley for the best flavor impact.
- Watch carefully while grilling to avoid burning the bread.
