Description
A delicious grilled cheese sandwich with garlic butter and three types of cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices sandwich bread (sourdough with soft crust)
- 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 3 cloves garlic (very finely minced)
- 1 tablespoon Italian parsley (finely chopped)
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 1 cup freshly shredded cheese (Gruyere, Colby Jack, and smoked Cheddar)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the softened butter, mayonnaise, garlic, and parsley until evenly combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture on the bread on one side only. Top with shredded cheese and cover with the second slice, buttered side up.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Medium-low heat allows the cheese to fully melt in the center before the crust turns too browned.
- Once the skillet is warm, cook on both sides, about 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted. You may need to flip them over a few times to ensure the cheese is fully melted in the center. As you flip, gently press them down.
- Take it out, give it a minute for the natural release so the cheese sets just right, then slice and serve it hot.
Notes
- Use a combination of cheeses for a deeper flavor.
- Make sure to let the sandwich sit for a minute after cooking to ensure the cheese holds together when sliced.
