Description
Garlic Grilled Cheese is the ultimate savory twist on a classic comfort food. Crispy, golden bread slathered with garlicky butter and filled with a melty cheese blend—perfect for cozy lunches, quick dinners, or an indulgent snack. Every bite is rich, toasty, and undeniably satisfying.
Ingredients
4 slices thick-sliced sourdough or artisan white bread
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Pinch salt
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
2. Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on one side of each bread slice.
3. Layer mozzarella and cheddar cheese on the unbuttered side of two slices, then top with the remaining slices, buttered side out.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is fully melted.
5. Let the sandwiches rest for 1 minute before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Use fresh garlic instead of pre-minced for the best flavor punch.
Keep your heat at medium-low to avoid burning while the cheese melts.
A cast iron skillet gives a superior golden crust compared to non-stick.
