Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

8 slices of garlic bread. I like using prepared garlic bread—it’s so easy!
8 slices aged Havarti or your favorite sharp cheddar; sliced
1 cup mozzarella or another mild, easy-melting cheese; shredded

Directions:

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.

Place four slices of garlic bread, buttered side down, in the skillet.

Layer each slice with 2 slices of Havarti (or cheddar) cheese. Sprinkle ¼ cup shredded mozzarella evenly on top.

Top with remaining garlic bread slices, buttered side up.

Grill for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until golden and the cheese is melted.

Remove from the skillet and rest for 1 minute. Slice in half and serve.

Notes:

For the best flavor, use a high-quality garlic bread from the bakery section or your favorite frozen brand. The key is that the bread should have a good garlic and butter balance.

If you don’t have Havarti or cheddar, you can swap in Swiss or Gruyère for a more complex flavor.

To ensure a perfect melt, cook the sandwiches on medium heat. Too high of a heat may burn the garlic bread before the cheese fully melts.

Add a sprinkle of garlic powder or dried herbs like oregano or basil to the cheese for an extra flavor kick.

For a heartier sandwich, you can add slices of tomato, bacon, or even a few sautéed mushrooms in between the cheese layers.

Storage:

If you have any leftover Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese, wrap them in aluminum foil and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat or pop it in the oven at 350°F until heated through and the bread is crisp again. These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but you can also freeze them after grilling for up to 1 month. Just wrap them tightly in foil and reheat from frozen in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
