Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese combines two familiar favorites with a five-ingredient method. Garlic powder and dried parsley turn softened butter into a savory spread, while a mozzarella-cheddar blend melts between four crisp bread slices.
The recipe makes exactly 2 sandwiches in 15 minutes: 5 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook. Low skillet heat and a full 4–5 minutes per side give the cheese time to melt without scorching the garlic-butter crust.
Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese Ingredients
Gather 2 tablespoons softened butter, ½ tablespoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon dried parsley, 4 bread slices, and 1 cup shredded mozzarella-and-cheddar cheese blend. No fresh garlic or extra oil is needed.
Divide the cheese evenly between two sandwich bases, which gives each sandwich ½ cup. Spread the garlic butter across one side of all four slices so every exterior browns with the same savory coating.
