Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Italian or sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. Ensure the buttered side will be facing down when cooked.
In a small bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and garlic powder.
Evenly divide the cheese mixture onto the unbuttered side of two bread slices. Spread it to cover the surface but avoid overfilling to prevent spillage while cooking.
Top the cheese-covered slices with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out, to create two sandwiches.
Carefully place the sandwiches on the preheated skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.
Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3–4 minutes, until the bread is golden and the cheese inside is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before cutting into halves or quarters.
If desired, sprinkle dried parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Grilled Cheesy Bread!
