Golden, garlicky butter-smeared bread encloses a molten layer of stretchy cheese, giving you the ultimate mash-up of garlic bread and grilled cheese in one quick, decadent sandwich.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices Pullman or sourdough bread
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (≈ 2 tsp)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Pinch salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 oz (115 g) melting cheese such as sharp cheddar, fontina, or mozzarella, sliced or shredded

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, blend softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
  2. Spread a generous layer of the garlic butter on one side of each bread slice.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-low. Place two slices butter-side down in the pan, then divide cheese evenly over both.
  4. Top with remaining bread slices, butter-side up, creating two sandwiches.
  5. Cook 4 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until bread is deeply golden and cheese is fully melted. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning.
  6. Transfer to a cutting board, rest 1 minute, slice, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Swap in roasted garlic for a sweeter, deeper flavor.
  • Mix cheeses—gouda, Swiss, or provolone all melt beautifully.
  • Add extras inside: sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, spinach, or tomato slices.
  • Prep ahead by buttering bread and refrigerating up to 24 h; grill to order.
  • Freeze assembled (uncooked) sandwiches up to 1 month; bake from frozen at 350 °F / 175 °C for 15–20 min, then pan-crisp if desired.
