Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Cheese
- 8 slices artisan-style white bread
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded double Gloucester cheese or additional cheddar
Spreads and Seasonings
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
For Cooking
- 2 tablespoons softened butter (for pan)
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Mayo Spread: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the mayonnaise, garlic powder, and salt to create a flavorful garlic mayo spread that will coat the outside of your sandwiches.
- Mix Cream Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the shredded double Gloucester (or extra cheddar) cheese until smooth and evenly combined for a creamy, cheesy layer.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of 4 bread slices. Layer each with one slice of cheddar cheese and one slice of provolone cheese. Top each with the remaining bread slices, pressing gently to form sandwiches.
- Apply Garlic Mayo on Bread Outsides: Use a spatula or knife to spread the prepared garlic mayo mixture on the outside surfaces of each sandwich, mimicking how butter is applied to grill the bread.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat to ensure gentle cooking for a golden crust without burning.
- Grill Sandwiches: Add a small amount of softened butter to the skillet. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook each side for about 2 to 4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheeses inside are melted and gooey.
- Serve: Remove sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy this rich grilled cheese on its own or paired with a bowl of tomato soup.
Notes
- Cook low and slow on medium-low to medium heat for the perfect golden crust and melty center without burning.
