Notes
Storage: To store leftover Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese, wrap the sandwich tightly in aluminum foil or place it in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, consume it fresh, as the bread may lose its crispness over time.
Reheating: To reheat the sandwich, preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cover it with a lid to help heat it evenly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until warmed through and crispy. Alternatively, you can use an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes.
Serving: Serve the Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese hot, cut in half for easy handling. Pair it with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Garnish with extra herbs for added flavor and presentation.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding sautéed onions or tomatoes inside the sandwich before grilling. Additionally, using a mix of cheeses, such as mozzarella or gouda, can enhance the creaminess and taste of your grilled cheese.
