The Ultimate Grilled Cheese
This Ultimate Grilled Cheese is a cheesy dream! Creamy, gooey, and crispy, this sandwich elevates comfort food to new heights.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- Griddle or Large Skillet
- Knife
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature for easy mixing)
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise (adds creaminess and helps achieve a golden crust)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for a sharp, tangy flavor)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for that melty, gooey texture)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (for a hint of aromatic flavor)
- 1/8 tsp seasoned salt (to enhance the overall taste)
- 1 loaf French bread (cut into 1/2-inch thick slices)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and well blended. Add in the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Take a slice of French bread and generously spread the cheese mixture onto one side. Place another slice of bread on top to create a sandwich. Repeat this step until all the ingredients are used up.
- Preheat your griddle or skillet over medium heat. You want it hot enough to create a golden crust without burning the bread.
- Place the assembled sandwiches onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Use a spatula to gently press down on the sandwiches for an even cook.
- Once the sandwiches are perfectly grilled, remove them from the skillet. Allow them to cool for a minute before cutting them in half. Serve immediately and enjoy the melty, cheesy goodness of The Ultimate Grilled Cheese!
Notes
- For a lower-fat option, substitute Neufchâtel cheese for cream cheese.
- Try using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a tangy twist, though it may change the texture.
- Experiment with different types of bread like sourdough or whole wheat for unique flavors.
