What Kind of Bread Should I Use?

For the ultimate Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese, go with thick slices of sourdough or Italian bread. These sturdy breads hold up well to the garlic butter and toasting process without becoming soggy. They also deliver that perfect crunch once grilled. Avoid soft sandwich bread—you want something with bite and body.

Ingredients for the Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese

Each ingredient plays a role in building bold flavor and texture. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Bread – Thick-cut sourdough or Italian bread works best to give structure and crunch.
• Butter – Softened, unsalted butter for blending smoothly with garlic and spreading evenly.
• Garlic – Freshly minced garlic brings that irresistible flavor punch.
• Parsley – Fresh chopped parsley adds color and a herby brightness.
• Mozzarella – For ultimate stretch and melt, use low-moisture mozzarella.
• Provolone – Adds a creamy, slightly sharp depth to balance the mozzarella.
• Parmesan – Grated parmesan enhances the garlic butter with a savory note.

How To Make the Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese

Step 1: Mix the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and grated parmesan. Mix until fully incorporated and spreadable.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwiches

Spread the garlic butter mixture onto one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, layer mozzarella and provolone cheeses between two slices to form sandwiches.

Step 3: Toast to Golden Perfection

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches butter-side down and grill until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even toasting.

Step 4: Serve Hot

Once the cheese is melted and both sides are golden, remove from the skillet, slice, and serve immediately. Prepare for cheese pull magic!
