  • 3–4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped fresh parsley
  • 8 slices of fresh-baked bread, 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches thick (choose from Italian, potato, sourdough, cheese, whole-grain, or light rye bread)
  • 8 slices of brie cheese
  • 8 slices of aged cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices of Asiago cheese
  • 8 slices of Havarti cheese

Expert Tips:

  • Use high-quality, fresh-baked bread for the best results.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature to ensure even spreading.
  • Experiment with different bread varieties to suit your preferences.

How to Make the $15 Grill Cheese Sandwich:

  1. Prep Your Ingredients:
    • In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, crushed garlic, and chopped fresh parsley. This creates a flavorful garlic herb butter spread.
  2. Build the Grilled Cheese:
    • Lay out 8 slices of your chosen bread.
    • Spread a generous amount of the garlic herb butter on one side of each slice.
    • On the non-buttered side of 4 slices, layer the brie, asiago, aged cheddar, and havarti cheeses.
  3. Assemble the Sandwiches:
    • Top each cheese-loaded slice with a second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
  4. Grill to Perfection:
    • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
    • Place the assembled sandwiches on the skillet and cook until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes per side.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Once the sandwiches are crispy and the cheese is gooey, remove them from the heat.
    • Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately.

Storage and Leftovers:

These grilled cheese sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, use a toaster oven or skillet to preserve the crispy texture.
