- Skillet or griddle
- Spatula
- Mixing Bowl
- Butter Knife
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese softened

- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 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.
