Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese Recipe

Updated on August 26th, 2025

If you love garlic bread and grilled cheese, this recipe combines the best of both into one sandwich. The bread gets coated with a garlic butter spread that’s rich with parsley, Parmesan, and olive oil, so every bite has that buttery garlic bread flavor. Inside, a mix of provolone and white American cheese melts together to make the sandwich gooey and satisfying. It’s simple to prepare and turns an ordinary grilled cheese into something that feels like a treat.

Why this recipe works

• Garlic bread crust: Using a garlic butter spread on the outside of the bread makes the crust flavorful and crispy, which is the part that makes this sandwich stand out.
• Cheese combination: Provolone and white American melt beautifully together to create a filling that’s smooth and creamy without being too heavy.
• Balanced flavor: The fresh parsley and Parmesan in the spread add brightness and saltiness that pair perfectly with the richness of the cheese.
• Golden brown finish: Cooking the sandwich slowly on a pan or griddle gives you a golden crust that is crunchy on the outside while keeping the cheese melted inside.
• Simple comfort food: With just a few ingredients and easy steps, you get a sandwich that feels both familiar and special at the same time.

Serving suggestions

• Classic pairing: Serve this sandwich with tomato soup, since the garlic bread crust and melted cheese are perfect for dipping.
• Italian-style option: Try dipping it in warm marinara sauce for a twist that makes it taste almost like cheesy garlic breadsticks.
• Make it a meal: Add a small side salad or roasted vegetables to balance the richness and turn it into a full dinner.
• Party-friendly idea: Slice the sandwiches into smaller pieces and serve them as appetizers at gatherings, where they will disappear quickly.
• Best eaten fresh: This sandwich is at its best right off the pan, while the crust is crispy and the cheese inside is still gooey and warm.
