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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
