Grilled cheese sandwiches have long been a favorite American comfort food. This garlic bread version takes the ordinary grilled cheese sandwich to the next level. All you need is a few extra ingredients for the garlic butter spread to make these gourmet sandwiches.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich With Feta Cheese
This recipe makes four sandwiches, and it is easily scaled down for one or two sandwiches. Or scale it up for a large family. Serve garlic bread grilled cheese sandwiches with a marinara sauce or pizza sauce for dipping, or serve them with tomato soup or a salad for a fabulous lunch or dinner.
This recipe is a great combination of my two favorite dishes; grilled cheese sandwich and garlic bread. It’s a very easy recipe to follow and you can adjust it to your taste. The perfect cheesy, garlicky and buttery dish to enjoy at any time of the day that you want. —Tara Omidvar

Perfectly melty cheese and buttery crunchy bread every time, no matter how you customize it!
We’re so excited about our Grilled Cheese Recipe we have for you all today! Nothing says easy comfort food like a grilled cheese sandwich. The ooey gooey cheese, buttery bread, and delicate crunch as you take each delicious bite make it easy to love this classic sandwich. Just thinking of it dunked into a bowl of steaming tomato soup has me dreaming of colder weather.
If making grilled cheese at home consists of slapping butter on any ol’ bread and shoving a slice of cheese in between, and you’re wondering what’s so special about this ordinary sandwich, you’re in the right place.
Crispy Grilled Cheese Recipe
We have the BEST grilled cheese recipe, with tips and tricks to take this classic simple comfort food from so-so to absolutely mouth-watering. Once you get the basics, you can easily customize it exactly to your liking!
You only need three ingredients for this classic grilled cheese recipe, so the quality of the ingredients matter. While it will taste good with white bread and American cheese, you deserve to let this grilled sandwich shine by following our easy tutorial.
While you could use mayonnaise or oil to keep your grilled cheese from sticking, we prefer butter. These other options keep your bread from burning to the pan but don’t have the nostalgic, buttery, slightly salty flavor we’re going for.
Grilled Cheese Recipe
Some people may argue that mayo and some oils have a higher smoke point than butter, but as long as you cook your grilled cheese over medium to medium-low heat and check it after 3-4 minutes, you don’t have to worry about the butter burning on your bread.
We like a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, but you can use any type or combination of the ones below (they’re all great melting cheeses)!
If you have access to a loaf of fresh sourdough bread, you can’t beat its texture and flavor for your grilled cheese. Here are some other great substitutes, depending on your preference and what you have on hand. Just make sure it’s thick and relatively sturdy so it doesn’t fall apart while cooking.
Fancy Schmancy Grilled Cheese
While this recipe is as simple as three ingredients, you can always follow the same technique with these variations for a new spin.
Spread on the sauce. Add a smear of pesto, Chick-fil-A sauce, BBQ, buffalo sauce, mayonnaise, ranch, or marinara to your grilled cheese.
Other toppings. Add thinly sliced red onions, arugula, pickles, tomatoes, pickled onions, apple slices, or sauteed mushrooms to the sandwich before or after grilling.
Toasted Cheese Sandwich Recipe: How To Make Toasted Cheese Sandwich Recipe
We created a cheesy garlic bread version of our grilled cheese and people seemed to really enjoy it, so we’ve provided amounts and instructions below! You basically get our classic grilled cheese recipe, but with a crisp, cheesy, garlic bread exterior that takes this grilled cheese recipe over the top in a very good way!
Keep the heat low. Err on the side of caution and keep the heat medium to medium-low. Getting the pan too hot risks burning the outside of the sandwich before the cheese melts or before you realize it’s time to flip it over!
Use a heavy-bottomed pan. To avoid uneven cooking, especially if you’re making more than one grilled cheese at a time, use a pan that has good conduction for even heating, like cast iron or non-stick aluminum.
My Favorite Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipes
Cover the pan. Not all recipes tell you to cover the pan, but we find that this extra step helps the cheese melt and the bread stay chewy on the inside while the outside is perfectly toasted.
Don’t skimp on the butter. This ingredient does two things in this recipe, it adds amazing flavor and keeps the bread from sticking and burning. Don’t be afraid to spread it on thick!
While chips and a pickle spear are enough to make this a nostalgic meal from your childhood, amplify your mealtime by serving it with one of these delicious sides!
