Ingredients
4 slices crusty Italian or French bread (thick-cut)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
1 pinch salt, to taste
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt. Let it rest for a few minutes to infuse the flavors.
2. Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on one side of each bread slice.
3. Layer shredded mozzarella and cheddar between two slices of bread, keeping the buttered sides on the outside.
4. Heat a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.
5. Add the sandwich and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
6. Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, slice, and serve hot.
Notes
Use medium-low heat to ensure the bread doesn’t burn before the cheese melts.
Mixing the garlic butter ahead of time allows for better flavor infusion.
For extra crunch, add a sprinkle of parmesan on the outside before toasting.
