Description
A comforting grilled cheese sandwich with garlic-butter toasted bread and oozy cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter
- 2 cloves minced garlic (or 1 tsp garlic paste)
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- A pinch of salt
- 4 slices of sourdough or country loaf
- 1–1¼ cups shredded cheese (50/50 blend of sharp cheddar and mozzarella)
- Optional: thin smear of Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Make garlic butter by mixing softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt.
- Spread a thin layer of the garlic butter on the outside of each slice of bread.
- Layer two slices of bread per sandwich, adding shredded cheese in between.
- If desired, spread a thin layer of Dijon on the inside of the bread.
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium-low heat.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- If needed, cover the pan briefly to retain heat and ensure cheese melts evenly.
Notes
For best results, use a mixture of high-flavor and high-melt cheeses. Adjust heat to avoid burning the bread while the cheese melts.
