Ingredients
For the garlic butter:
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the sandwich:
- 4 slices of bread (preferably sourdough or thick-cut white bread)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
- On the non-buttered side of two slices, sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Top with the remaining two bread slices, buttered side facing out.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy on one side, about 2–3 minutes.
- Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
Notes
-
Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. Roasted garlic works too for a milder version.
-
Grate your own cheese for smoother melting.
-
Customize with proteins or veggies to suit your taste.
-
Double the garlic butter and store it in the fridge for a quick go-to flavor boost.
-
Serve with tomato soup or a crisp salad for a balanced meal.

For parties, try mini sandwich bites with dipping sauces like marinara, pesto, or ranch.
