Ingredients for 5 Cheese Grilled Cheese

  • 2 slices sourdough bread (or thick-cut bread)
  • Butter
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Swiss Cheese
  • Provolone Cheese
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Cheddar Cheese

How to Make 5 Cheese Grilled Cheese

  1. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of softened whipped butter with 1/2 teaspoon of granulated garlic.
  2. Generously spread the garlic butter on both slices of sourdough bread (or thick-cut bread).
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered sides of both bread slices.
  4. Layer 1 slice of Swiss cheese (1 ounce) and 1 slice of provolone cheese (1 ounce) on one slice of bread.
  5. On the other slice of bread, layer 1 slice of mozzarella cheese (1 ounce) and 1 slice of cheddar cheese (1 ounce).
  6. Place the prepared bread slices together to form the sandwich.
  7. Cook the sandwich in a skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and melting.
  8. Carefully remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
