Equipment

  • Skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Butter Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp seasoned salt
  • 1 loaf French bread cut 1/2" thick

Instructions
 

Method: The Ultimate Grilled Cheese

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and creamy.
  • Take a slice of the French bread and spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture on one side. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat this process for as many sandwiches as you’d like to make.
  • Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat. Allow it to get hot enough so that it can cook the bread evenly and create that beautiful golden crust.
  • Once the skillet is hot, place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  • Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Let them cool for a minute before slicing them in half. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of tomato soup for the ultimate comfort meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding sautéed spinach, tomatoes, or roasted peppers inside your grilled cheese.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like gouda, pepper jack, or feta for a unique twist.
  • Leftover sandwiches can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet or oven for best results.
