Description

Delicious garlic cheese sandwiches made with sourdough bread and a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices thick-cut sourdough or Italian bread
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt to make the garlic spread.
  2. Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on one side of each bread slice.
  3. Flip two slices butter-side down and top with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  4. Place the remaining slices on top, buttered side out.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  6. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from the pan, let rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve hot.
  8. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes
