Ingredients

Scale
Garlic Bread
- 1 loaf of garlic bread
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Butter
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
Parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Optional Seasonings
- Red pepper flakes to taste
- Italian seasoning to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley until well combined. This will be your flavorful spread for the bread.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the garlic butter generously on one side of each slice of bread. On the non-buttered side, layer your choice of cheese.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and grill the other side until the cheese is melted.
- Serve Warm: Once both sides are golden and the cheese is oozy, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Slice it in half and serve immediately for maximum gooeyness.
Notes
- Use Quality Bread: Choosing a good loaf can make all the difference in texture and flavor.
- Low and Slow: Cooking on medium or medium-low heat allows the cheese to melt thoroughly without burning the bread.
- Cover the Pan: A lid can help trap heat and melt the cheese faster.
- Experiment with Cheeses: Mixing different types of cheese can create a unique flavor profile.
- Let it Rest: Allow the sandwich to sit for a minute before slicing to prevent the cheese from oozing out.
