Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time50 minutes
Servings: 2 Sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
  • 4 slices sandwich or sourdough bread
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheese of choice (I used mozzarella)
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Cut off the top of the head of garlics to expose the cloves and place in the center of a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle olive oil over the cloves and wrap in the aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes or until the garlic is softened. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • In a small mixing bowl, add the butter, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, salt and pepper. Squeeze in the cooled roasted garlic and mix everything together to combine. Set aside.
  • Place down the slices of bread on a clean surface and spread an even layer of the garlic butter over the top.
  • Heat up a skillet over medium heat. Working quickly, place down a slice of bread buttered side down. Top with a slice of American cheese, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and another slice of American cheese. Place a slice of bread over the cheese filling buttered side up.
  • Toast the bread for 2-3 minutes and then flip to toast the other side of the sandwich for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Repeat with remaining ingredients for a total of (2) sandwiches.
  • Serve sandwiches immediately on its own or with tomato soup. Enjoy!
