Description

Garlic bread grilled cheese marries two comfort classics into one irresistible sandwich. Melted cheese and crispy, buttery garlic-infused bread create a mouthwatering experience that will satisfy your deepest cravings.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of bread
  • 4 slices American cheese

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) fresh Italian parsley, chopped

Cheese Topping:

  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Instructions

  1. Warm a spacious skillet over medium flame, ensuring an even heating surface for optimal grilling.
  2. Craft a fragrant garlic butter blend by mixing softened butter with finely chopped garlic, grated Pecorino Romano, and freshly chopped parsley until ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Generously coat one side of each bread slice with the aromatic garlic butter mixture, creating a rich and flavorful exterior.
  4. Layer two slices of American cheese between bread slices, positioning the buttered surfaces outward to promote perfect caramelization and crispy texture.
  5. Carefully transfer the assembled sandwiches into the preheated skillet, allowing them to sizzle and transform into golden-brown delicacies.
  6. Grill each side for approximately 3-4 minutes, watching for a crisp, amber exterior and completely melted cheese interior.
  7. Remove from heat, slice diagonally to showcase the molten cheese center, and serve immediately while the sandwich remains warm and invitingly crisp.

Notes

  • Crisp golden edges come from carefully watching the heat while cooking.
  • Melted cheese transforms this classic sandwich into a gourmet comfort meal.
  • Pecorino Romano adds a salty, tangy punch that elevates the traditional grilled cheese flavor profile.
