Ingredients
- Bread: 4 slices of thick-cut sourdough or Italian bread
- Cheese: 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Butter: 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Garlic: 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Parsley: 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until well combined.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on one side of each slice of bread.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet.
- Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the bread in the skillet.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
- Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
Notes
- This sandwich can be made ahead by preparing the garlic butter and storing it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet for best results.
- For a twist, try substituting mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor profile.
