Equipment
- 1 frying pan or skillet
- 1 spatula
- 1 small bowl
- 1 grater (optional)
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread (white or sourdough)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
- 4 slices cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a cheese of your choice)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley until well combined.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
- Heat a frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
- Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Layer two slices of cheese on top of each piece of bread.
- Top with the remaining two slices of bread, buttered side up.
- Grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Use a spatula to press down gently for a crispy finish.
- Once done, remove from the skillet, let cool for a moment, then slice in half and serve hot.
Notes
Feel free to add extra ingredients like tomatoes, bacon, or spinach between the cheese layers for added flavor and nutrition.
If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can use fresh minced garlic instead. Just be careful not to burn it when cooking.
This dish pairs well with tomato soup for a comforting meal.
