Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Sandwich
- 4 slices sandwich bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small mixing bowl, blend the softened unsalted butter thoroughly with garlic powder and dried parsley until completely combined to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Butter the Bread: Evenly spread the prepared garlic butter mixture onto one side of each slice of sandwich bread, ensuring the butter is distributed smoothly for optimal flavor and crispiness.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place two slices of the buttered bread on a surface with the buttered side facing down. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend over these slices. Then cover each with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing up, to form two complete sandwiches.
- Cook First Side: Heat a large sauté pan over low heat. Once hot, carefully place both sandwiches into the pan. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, allowing the bottom side to become golden brown and crisp while the cheese begins to melt.
- Cook Other Side: Using a spatula, carefully flip the sandwiches to the other side. Continue to cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until the second side is also golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted and gooey.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the pan. Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the perfect combination of crispy garlic bread and melted cheese.
Notes
- Use low heat to ensure the bread crisps without burning and cheese melts evenly.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese inside before grilling.
- You can substitute sandwich bread with sourdough or Italian bread for a different texture.
- Butter should be softened for easy mixing and spreading.
- Leftover sandwiches can be reheated in a skillet or oven to restore crispiness.
