Description
Disney’s Grilled Cheese is a nostalgic and indulgent sandwich featuring a blend of provolone, cheddar, and American cheeses layered between artisan sourdough bread slices. The bread is spread with a creamy mixture of mayonnaise, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then grilled to golden perfection with buttery crusts and gooey melted cheese inside. This easy, comfort-food recipe is perfect for a quick lunch or a fun twist on a classic grilled cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Cheese
- 8 slices artisan bread (such as sourdough)
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 slices American cheese
Spread Mix
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup softened cream cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For Grilling
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
Instructions
- Prepare the spread mix: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Spread on the bread: Evenly spread the prepared creamy mixture on one side of each slice of bread. This will add flavor and help create a crispy outer crust when grilled.
- Layer the cheese: On the non-spread sides of 4 bread slices, layer one slice each of provolone, cheddar, and American cheese. These cheeses provide a melty, flavorful filling.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Place the remaining bread slices on top of the cheese layers with the spread side facing outward, creating four complete sandwiches.
- Heat your pan or griddle: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat to ensure gentle and even cooking that allows cheese to melt without burning the bread.
- Apply butter and grill: Spread the softened butter on the outside of both sides of each sandwich. Place the sandwiches in the heated skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure good contact and even browning until the bread is golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted.
- Slice and serve: Once grilled to perfection, slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, grill the sandwiches low and slow to ensure the cheese melts completely without burning the bread.
- Try swapping provolone, cheddar, or American cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for a flavorful twist.
- Using artisan bread such as sourdough adds a pleasant texture and flavor, but you may use your favorite bread type.
