Ingredients
- 6 slices Sourdough bread (or artisan bread)
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded or thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley (if using). Mix well to form a flavored butter.
Step 3
Spread a thin layer of the flavored butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Step 4
On the non-buttered side of 3 slices of bread, spread a small dollop of Dijon mustard evenly.
Step 5
Evenly distribute the shredded Cheddar cheese on the mustard-coated slices of bread, ensuring good coverage but keeping the edges clean.
Step 6
Top with the remaining 3 slices of bread, buttered side facing outwards, to form sandwiches.
Step 7
Place the sandwiches on the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 8
Remove the grilled sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly for 2–3 minutes.
Step 9
Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich into 4 equal squares or triangles to create bite-sized pieces.
Step 10
Arrange the grilled cheese bites on a platter and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley.
