Instructions

  • Divide the ingredients to make 4 sandwiches: each sandwich will use 2 slices bread, 1 slice cheddar, and 1 slice provolone.
  • Butter one side of each of the 8 bread slices.
  • Lightly sprinkle garlic salt with parsley flakes onto the buttered side of each slice.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • For each sandwich, place one bread slice in the skillet buttered-side down.
  • Top that slice with 1 slice cheddar and 1 slice provolone.
  • Place the second bread slice on top with the buttered side facing up (buttered sides should be facing outward).
  • Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2–4 minutes; press gently with a spatula if desired and lower the heat slightly if the bread is browning too fast.
  • Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, another 2–4 minutes.
  • Remove sandwiches from the skillet and let rest 1 minute before slicing and serving.

Notes

Heat a heavy-bottomed pan. If the sandwich is frozen then only use low heat, otherwise, use medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan.
Cover the pan with the lid. Place it slightly askew to avoid a build-up of steam.
Heat both sides of the sandwich until warm and the cheese is melty.
