Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you need to make one sandwich (double for more):

2 slices of thick-cut white or sourdough bread
2 tbsp softened butter
½ tbsp garlic powder

½ tsp dried parsley
2 slices cheddar cheese
2 slices mozzarella cheese (or use a blend of your choice)

How to Make Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese

Step 1: Mix Your Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley until well combined.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich

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

On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Top with the second slice, buttered side facing out.

Step 3: Grill to Perfection

Heat a skillet or nonstick pan over medium-low heat.

Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 4: Slice and Serve

Remove from pan, let it sit for 1 minute, slice in half, and enjoy that glorious cheese pull.

Tips & Variations

Add protein: Throw in sliced deli turkey, crispy bacon, or ham.
Spice it up: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper to the butter.
More garlic flavor: Swap garlic powder for freshly minced garlic (lightly sauté it in butter first).

Use Italian bread for extra flavor, or Texas toast for thickness.

What Cheese Works Best?

Mozzarella – for that classic stretch
Cheddar – bold, sharp flavor

Provolone – melts well with mellow taste
Colby Jack – perfect blend of creaminess and tang
