Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Butter
- 2 slices Sourdough Bread
- 2 tablespoons Toum or TOOM Original Garlic Dip (for shortcut)
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Cheese
- ½ cup Havarti Cheese shredded (or another melty cheese of choice)
- Additional option in instructions: mozzarella, cheddar, and provolone (amounts to equal ½ cup combined can be used)
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Butter: Soften the butter and mix in the minced garlic and chopped parsley to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Spread Garlic Butter: Spread the prepared garlic butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
- Add Cheese Layers: On the unbuttered side of the bread, layer shredded Havarti cheese or a combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and provolone to your preference.
- Heat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat to ensure slow and even melting without burning the bread.
- Grill the Sandwich: Place the sandwiches buttered-side down onto the skillet, cooking until the bread is golden and the cheese begins to melt, then carefully flip and repeat for the other side.
- Press Sandwich: Lightly press the sandwich with a spatula during grilling to help the cheese melt evenly and the sandwich to hold together.
- Serve: Remove from skillet, slice the sandwich, and serve immediately to enjoy the gooey, cheesy pull and crispy garlic bread exterior.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the boldest, freshest garlic flavor in the butter.
- Feel free to mix and match cheeses to suit your taste preferences and meltability.
- Cook on low heat to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly without burning the bread.
- If you want a shortcut, using TOOM Original Garlic Dip can save time without compromising flavor.
