Description
This Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese combines two comfort food classics into one savory, crispy, and gooey sandwich perfect for lunch, dinner, or a hearty snack.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of French baguette, Italian loaf, or thick-cut sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 clove minced garlic (or 1 teaspoon jarred)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded four-cheese blend (cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, etc.)
- Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using.
- Spread the garlic butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Place one slice of bread, buttered-side down, on the skillet and top with the cheese.
- Place the second slice on top, buttered-side up.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from the skillet and let rest for a minute.
- Slice in half and garnish with parsley or chives if desired.
Notes
- Cook on medium-low to avoid burning the bread.
- Use a combination of cheeses for better flavor and texture.
- Feel free to add tomatoes, onions, spinach, or bacon for variation.
- Best served fresh; reheating in a skillet helps maintain crispiness.
