Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons (softened) cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons (grated) parmesan cheese
- 0 optional optional toppings (e.g., tomato slices, cooked bacon)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and garlic powder until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese lightly over the mayonnaise for added crunch and flavor.
Step 3
Flip the bread slices over so the non-mayonnaise side faces up. Spread the cheese mixture evenly across two slices of the bread. Add optional toppings, such as tomato slices or cooked bacon, if desired.
Step 4
Top the cheese-covered slices with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side facing out.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt completely.
Step 6
Place one sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown. Flip the sandwich, add a bit more butter if needed, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted.
Step 7
Repeat the cooking process for the second sandwich.
Step 8
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve immediately for a gooey, creamy experience.
