Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- ½ tablespoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- 4 slices bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Stir until well mixed.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of all four slices of bread.
- Flip two slices so they are butter-side down. Evenly divide the shredded cheese over them.
- Top each with a second slice of bread, butter-side up, forming two sandwiches.
- Place the sandwiches in a large sauté pan over low heat and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until both sides are golden and cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat and serve hot with gooey cheese and crisp bread.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic in place of garlic powder for a stronger flavor.
- Try different cheeses like provolone or pepper jack for variation.
- Serve with tomato soup for a classic combo.
- Keep heat low to ensure the bread crisps while the cheese melts.
