4.7 from 75 reviews

Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese is a comforting twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, featuring crispy golden garlic buttered bread layered with a melty blend of mozzarella, sharp cheddar, and provolone cheeses. Ideal for a quick lunch or cozy dinner, it offers rich garlic flavor and a satisfying cheesy pull with every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Garlic Butter

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley (optional)

Sandwich

  • 2 slices bread
  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Make the Garlic Butter: Soften the unsalted butter and thoroughly mix it with minced garlic cloves and parsley if using to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
  2. Prep the Bread: Generously spread the garlic butter on one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, layer the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and provolone cheese evenly.
  3. Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan with the garlic buttered side down. Grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 4 minutes.
  4. Flip and Press: Flip the sandwich carefully, grill the other side until golden and the cheese is fully melted. Press lightly with a spatula to ensure even melting of the cheese.
  5. Serve Hot: Remove from skillet, slice the sandwich in half, and serve immediately to enjoy the melted, gooey cheese and crispy garlic bread.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the boldest and most vibrant flavor.
  • Feel free to mix and match cheese varieties to suit your taste preferences.
  • Cook over low to medium-low heat to prevent the bread from burning while allowing the cheese to melt properly.
  • If reheating, use a skillet or toaster oven rather than a microwave to maintain crispiness.
