This Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese takes everything you love about garlic bread—crispy edges, buttery richness, and bold garlic flavor—and fuses it with the gooey, melty magic of a classic grilled cheese. It’s comfort food with an irresistible twist.
Ideal for lunch, a cozy snack, or a quick dinner, this sandwich is rich in flavor and so easy to make. You can pair it with tomato soup, a fresh salad, or just enjoy it solo with a side of marinara for dipping. Once you try it, regular grilled cheese will never be enough again.
Ingredients:
- 8 slices thick-cut bread (Italian or sourdough works best)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
Directions:
- In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on one side of each bread slice.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet.
- Sprinkle a mix of mozzarella and cheddar evenly on each slice. Add red pepper flakes if using.
- Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread, buttered side up.
- Grill for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Slice and serve hot, optionally with tomato soup or marinara dipping sauce.
