4 steps
Prep:5minCook:10min
This copycat version of the Starbucks Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a gooey sharp and tangy grilled cheese sandwiched between thick sourdough slices that are coated in a parmesan butter spread. Then it all comes together in a pan when it’s toasted up to melty perfection

Make The Butter Spread

Step 1
In a bowl, add the softened butter. Melt in the microwave about 10-15 seconds until it just starts to slightly melt. Add in the parmesan and garlic. Mix together until smooth.

Assemble Sandwich

Step 2
To build the grilled cheese sandwich, spread the garlic parmesan butter on the outside of each piece of bread. Add in two slices of sharp cheddar and one slice of mozzarella cheese to the non-buttered side.

Grill The Sandwich

Step 3
In a large nonstick skillet over low heat, add in the sandwich and cook about 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and toasted. Low and slow is key so the cheese melts before the bread browns too quickly. Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet, slice in half and enjoy immediately.

Variations

Step 4
Keep the same butter parmesan crust and sharp cheddar, but you can swap out the mozzarella for Gruyere or a nutty cheese. Add in a protein like bacon, rotisserie chicken (or if you have leftover Loaf Pan Chicken use that!) or my husbands favorite, cooked lobster meat or even thinly sliced apples.
