Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

• 4 slices of bread (I recommend a hearty sourdough or Italian)
• 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment Needed

• Non-stick skillet or griddle
• Spatula
• Mixing bowl
• Knife for spreading
• Garlic press (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Let’s start by making the garlic butter spread. In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mixing it all together will create a rich, aromatic spread that’s going to take your grilled cheese to the next level. I absolutely love this step—nothing beats the smell of fresh garlic mingling with butter! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
