The Ultimate Cheese Grilled Cheese is a melty, gooey, and perfectly crispy sandwich loaded with a mix of cheeses for maximum flavor. This recipe uses a blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and provolone (or any of your favorite cheeses) for a rich and satisfying twist on the classic. Ideal for lunch, a quick dinner, or the perfect companion to a bowl of tomato soup!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices white bread, sourdough, or brioche
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese (or Swiss, Gruyère, or any other melty cheese)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional, for extra crispiness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

🍞 Prepare the Bread:

  1. Mix the Butter:

    • In a small bowl, combine softened butter, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese until smooth.

  2. Butter the Bread:

    • Spread the butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread.

🧀 Assemble the Sandwich:

  1. Add the Cheese:

    • Mix the cheddar, mozzarella, and provolone cheeses in a bowl.
    • Evenly distribute the cheese mixture between two slices of bread, on the unbuttered side.

  2. Top with Bread:

    • Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side facing out.

🔥 Cook the Grilled Cheese:

  1. Preheat the Pan:

    • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

  2. Grill the Sandwiches:

    • Place the sandwiches in the skillet.
    • Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

  3. Tip for Extra Melty Cheese:

    • If the bread browns too quickly before the cheese melts, reduce the heat or cover the skillet with a lid for a minute or two.

🍽️ Serve:

  1. Slice and Serve:

    • Let the sandwiches rest for a minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.

  2. Serving Suggestions:

    • Pair with tomato soup, a fresh salad, or enjoy with pickles and chips.

Notes

  • Cheese Variations: Try mixing in blue cheese, feta, or pepper jack for different flavors.
  • Make It Fancy: Add sliced tomatoes, crispy bacon, caramelized onions, or fresh herbs inside the sandwich.
  • Crispier Tip: Use a cast iron skillet and press the sandwich with another heavy pan to get that perfect crunch.
