Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese

Here’s a mouthwatering twist on two comfort food classics: Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese — crispy, buttery garlic bread on the outside, gooey melted cheese on the inside. It’s bold, rich, and ridiculously satisfying.

🧄🧀 Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients (for 2 sandwiches):

• 4 slices of bread (Italian, sourdough, or thick sandwich bread)

• 2 tbsp softened unsalted butter

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 4 slices mozzarella or provolone

• 4 slices sharp cheddar or American cheese
  (Use your favorite combo!)

🔪 Instructions:

1. Make Garlic Butter:

   • In a small bowl, mix softened butter, olive oil, garlic, parsley, and salt.

   • Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on one side of each slice of bread.

2. Assemble Sandwiches:

   • Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet or griddle.

   • Layer cheese: cheddar + mozzarella (or any melty combo).

   • Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.

3. Grill:

   • Heat skillet over medium-low heat.

   • Grill sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden and crispy on the outside and melty in the middle.

   • Watch carefully — the garlic can burn if heat is too high.

4. Serve Hot:

   • Let rest 1 minute, then slice and serve. Great with tomato soup or marinara on the side!

🔄 Variations:

• Add tomato slices, bacon, or caramelized onions.

• Use Texas toast for a thicker, toastier version.

• Sprinkle a little Parmesan on the outside before grilling for extra crunch.
