Equipment

  • Nonstick skillet or cast iron pan
  • Spatula
  • Mixing bowl
  • Grater
  • Knife + cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bread (white, sourdough, or Italian loaf)
  • 3 tbsp softened butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (or mixed Italian herbs)
  • 1 cup freshly grated cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, provolone blend)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: chili flakes, Parmesan for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Make Garlic Butter: Mix softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt.
  • Prepare Bread: Spread garlic butter on one side of each slice.
  • Assemble Sandwiches: Place cheese on the unbuttered side of two slices, then top with remaining slices (buttered side out).
  • Cook: Heat skillet over medium-low. Cook sandwiches until golden brown on one side, then flip. Cover pan briefly to help cheese melt.
  • Finish: Remove when both sides are crisp and cheese is gooey. Slice diagonally and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated cheese for best melt.
  • Cook low and slow to avoid burning garlic.
  • Add-ons like bacon, ham, or spinach make great variations.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet or oven for crispness—avoid microwaving.
