Best Grilled Cheese Recipe
Description
The Best Grilled Cheese Recipe features a combination of cheddar and provolone slices for a balanced cheese flavor that melts smoothly. Artisan-style bread like sourdough is lightly buttered on the outside and sprinkled with garlic salt containing parsley flakes, which adds a mild herbal aroma and savory seasoning. Cooking takes place in a skillet or heated pan, pressing and browning the sandwich until the bread surfaces are golden and crisp with melted, gooey cheese inside. The recipe offers simple steps that produce a satisfying grilled cheese with a flavorful exterior. Leftover sandwiches can be stored wrapped in foil in the fridge for a couple of days, or frozen tightly for longer storage. Reheating works best on the stovetop in a covered pan to preserve meltiness and avoid sogginess, though a microwave or toaster oven can be used if needed.
Ingredients
- 8 bread artisan, sourdough, homemade, slices
- 4 lices cheddar cheese
- 4 lices provolone cheese
- butter
- garlic salt with parsley flakes
Instructions
- Butter up one side of bread (you could use mayo instead) and sprinkle with garlic salt. Lay it on the skillet or in a heated pan, add the cheese, and then add the other piece of buttered bread.
- Cook until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted.
Notes
- Wrap cooled grilled cheese sandwiches in aluminum foil for refrigerator storage up to 2-3 days.
- For freezing, wrap each sandwich first in plastic wrap, then foil; freeze for 1-2 months.
- Reheat frozen or refrigerated sandwiches on the stovetop over low to medium heat, covering the pan slightly ajar to prevent steam buildup and keep cheese melted.
- A toaster oven or microwave can be used for reheating in a pinch, though texture may vary.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan for even heating during reheating.
