Ingredients
  

  • Base
  • 4 slices white or sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • Filling
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 2 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese
  • Optional Topping / Flavor Boost
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • Pinch black pepper

Method
 

  1. Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  2. Place two slices butter-side down in a skillet over medium-low heat.
  3. Layer cheddar, mozzarella, and cream cheese on top of the bread.

  5. Cook 3–4 minutes per side until bread is golden and cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Use medium-low heat to melt cheese evenly.
  • Let sandwiches rest before slicing to keep filling intact.
  • Swap cheeses for Gouda, Swiss, or Monterey Jack.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in a skillet.
