Ingredients:

How to Make Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese (Step-by-Step):
1. Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine softened butter with garlic powder and parsley. Mix until smooth. This will be the flavorful spread that makes the sandwich taste like garlic bread.
2. Butter the Bread
Spread the garlic butter generously on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the outer layer — the one that hits the pan.
3. Assemble the Sandwich
Lay one slice of cheese on the non-buttered side of one bread slice. Top it with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out. Repeat for the second sandwich.
4. Cook It Low and Slow
Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted through.
5. Serve Immediately
Slice in half (diagonally, of course!) and serve with marinara sauce, tomato soup, or eat as is — no judgment! Potsticker Soup with Mushrooms Bok Choy
Pro Tips:
- Use low heat — it allows the bread to crisp up while the cheese melts inside.
- Add a mix of cheeses for more depth (cheddar + mozzarella is a great combo).
- Want a spicy kick? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter. Fun Variations:
