Even though we get the urge to dive into a garlic bread grilled cheese right away, don’t rush the cooking process. Using moderate heat ensures the cheese melts perfectly inside without burning the crispy, garlicky exterior.
Ingredients
Makes 2 pieces
- 4Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2Tbsp. finely chopped parsley
- ½ garlic clove, finely grated
- ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp.
- Morton kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 thick slices Pullman or other sandwich bread
- 4oz sharp cheddar coarsely grated

Preparation of Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese
Step 1
Mix butter, parsley, garlic, salt, and several grinds of pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Spread a generous amount of butter on one side of bread slices(about 1 Tbsp. per slice).
Step 2
Place 2 bread slices, butter side down, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Divide cheese between bread in skillet(it’s okay if some cheese spills over onto skillet; it’s going to become crispy and delicious and that’s why we’re all here, right?) and top with remaining slices of bread, butter side up. Cook, checking after a couple minutes, until bread is golden brown and toasted underneath, about 4 minutes. Don’t rush! Remember, lower and slower is better. Carefully turn sandwiches over and cook until second sides are golden brown and cheese is melted, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice in half.
