5 from 91 reviews

A delicious twist on classic grilled cheese, featuring a flavorful garlic butter spread on toasted bread layered with a blend of mozzarella, sharp cheddar, and provolone cheeses, grilled to golden perfection for a melty, savory treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Butter

  • 2 slices bread
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley (optional)

Cheeses

  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare garlic butter: Soften the butter and mix in the minced garlic and chopped parsley to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
  2. Butter the bread: Spread the garlic butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring full coverage for great flavor and crispiness.
  3. Assemble the sandwich: On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer the shredded mozzarella, shredded sharp cheddar, and provolone slices.
  4. Heat skillet: Place a skillet over medium-low heat, allowing it to warm gently to prevent burning.
  5. Grill sandwich: Place the assembled sandwich buttered-side down in the skillet and grill until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, then carefully flip to grill the other side.
  6. Press sandwich: Lightly press the sandwich with a spatula for even melting of the cheese and a compact texture.
  7. Serve: Once both sides are golden and the cheese is fully melted, slice the sandwich and serve immediately to enjoy a perfect, gooey grilled cheese.

Notes

  • Use medium-low heat to prevent burning the garlic butter while achieving a crispy crust.
  • Parsley is optional but adds a fresh herbal note to the garlic butter.
  • You can substitute bread types depending on preference, such as sourdough or country white bread.
  • For a crispier sandwich, press with a grill press or heavy spatula.
  • Serve immediately for the best cheesy pull and texture.
