Description
An ultra‑creamy twist on a classic grilled cheese—silky cream cheese layered with sharp cheddar, sandwiched between sturdy bread slices, and grilled until golden‑crispy perfection. Rich, comforting, and satisfyingly indulgent, it’s the ultimate comfort sandwich.
Ingredients
-
8 small, thick slices of sturdy bread (e.g., sourdough)
-
8 square slices of cheddar cheese
-
5 oz (150 g) cream cheese
-
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
-
1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional for extra crispy crust)
-
Butter, as needed for grilling
Instructions
-
Spread cream cheese evenly on one side of each bread slice.
-
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the cream cheese layer.
-
Optional: Spread mayonnaise on the outside of bread slices for extra crispiness.
-
Assemble sandwiches by placing cheddar slices on four bread slices (cream cheese side up), then top with remaining bread slices (cream cheese side down).
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt butter to coat the pan.
-
Grill sandwiches for about 3–4 minutes per side—or until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted—adding more butter if needed.
-
Slice, serve immediately, and enjoy that creamy, crusty goodness.
Notes
Customize by adding bacon, tomato, or avocado inside the sandwich.
Mayo on the outside gives a crispier, more flavorful crust.
