Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Garlic bulb
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves slightly. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the exposed garlic and wrap the bulb tightly in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped garlic bulb on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and caramelized.
While the garlic is roasting, soften the butter and cream cheese by allowing them to come to room temperature.
Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the softened cloves into a small bowl and mash them into a smooth paste with a fork.
Mix the roasted garlic paste with cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to create a spreadable mixture.
Spread a thin layer of the garlic mixture evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a slice of cheddar cheese on the unspread side of two slices of bread. Top with the remaining bread slices, spread side facing outward.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from skillet and let the sandwiches cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your gourmet Roasted Garlic Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
