Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese Recipe

You cannot compare any warm, cheesy sandwich, and this range of warm, cheesy sandwich grilled cheese with garlic bread takes the cake and goes all the way to a somewhat different league. I am pretty fond of it since it was so simple to make, offers a ridiculously delicious taste, and is at its best when you cannot afford to prepare an elaborate meal in the kitchen.

What is Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese All About?

Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese is, as it sounds, a grilled, cheesy sandwich made with buttery garlic bread instead of plain bread. The texture is crispy and golden, garlicky on the outside, while gooey and stuffed with #melted cheese inside. It is the perfect combination of the two favorite items: garlic bread and grilled cheese.

Ingredients

For the Garlic Butter

• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• Pinch of salt

For the Sandwich

• 4 slices of bread (sourdough, white, or your favorite)
• 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt to make a smooth paste.
2. Spread some garlic butter on one side of a slice of bread.
3. Preheat a nonstick pan on medium heat.
4. Put one slice of bread on the pan, with the buttered side down.
5. A copious amount of cheese should follow.
6. Place another slice, buttered side up, on the cheese.
7. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, which should take about 3–4 minutes.
8. Flip it carefully and cook the other side until the bottom is golden and the cheese is melted.
9. Repeat the same for the other sandwich. Slice and serve hot.

Storage Tips

• Best eaten fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• To regain the crispy texture, reheat in a skillet or use an air fryer. Avoid microwaving as it turns the bread soggy.

Serving Suggestions

• Enjoy them with a bowl of tomato soup in a kind of traditional pairing.
• Throw in a side salad for some lighter, more refreshing relief.
• Serve with marinara sauce; these taste delicious!

Pro Tips & Variations

• Another recommendation could be using other types of cheese, e.g., provolone, pepper jack, or Gouda.
• Mix in some other odds and ends such as crispy bacon, tomato slices, or jalapeños!
• For an even lighter version, make use of olive oil as a complete substitute for butter.

FAQs

1. Am I able to have Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese with a kick?

Definitely! Just toss some red, hot pepper flakes into the garlic butter or opt for pepper jack cheese.

2. What bread should I prefer?

Sourdough or thick white bread. They are the best because they will hold the butter and cheese ghosts.

3. Can I get dairy-free?

Certainly. Just get some vegan butter and a few dairy-free cheese slices or shreds.

4. Can I cookie-cut it instead of pan-frying?

Sure, make the sandwich and cookie, set it in the oven at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping midway through to ensure even crisping.
