This Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese recipe is a quick and delicious 15-minute lunch idea that combines the rich flavors of garlic butter and a melty blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Perfectly toasted and crispy on the outside, with gooey cheese inside, it’s an irresistible comfort food classic elevated with a garlic twist.

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

  1. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley until well combined to create the garlic butter spread.
  2. Spread Butter on Bread: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring full coverage for flavor.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Place two bread slices butter-side down on a skillet or cutting board, then add half of the cheese blend atop each slice.
  4. Top Sandwich: Place the remaining two slices of bread on top with the butter-side facing up to complete each sandwich.
  5. 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 golden brown and crispy.
  6. Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts fully and the second side is crisp and golden.
  7. Serve: Remove the sandwiches from heat, slice them, and serve immediately while hot and gooey.

Notes

  • Use low heat to prevent burning the bread while allowing the cheese to melt thoroughly.
  • You can substitute the cheese blend with your favorite melting cheeses such as provolone or Swiss.
  • Adding fresh garlic instead of powder can enhance the garlic flavor but adjust quantities to taste.
  • Serve with a side of tomato soup or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • For extra crispiness, you can press the sandwiches gently with a spatula while cooking.
