Ingredients
- 1 whole Garlic bulb
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Slice off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves slightly. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the exposed garlic and wrap the bulb tightly in aluminum foil.
Step 3
Place the wrapped garlic bulb on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and caramelized.
Step 4
While the garlic is roasting, soften the butter and cream cheese by allowing them to come to room temperature.
Step 5
Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the softened cloves into a small bowl and mash them into a smooth paste with a fork.
Step 6
Mix the roasted garlic paste with cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to create a spreadable mixture.
Step 7
Spread a thin layer of the garlic mixture evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Step 8
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a slice of cheddar cheese on the unspread side of two slices of bread. Top with the remaining bread slices, spread side facing outward.
Step 9
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Step 10
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 11
Remove from skillet and let the sandwiches cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy your gourmet Roasted Garlic Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
