Garlic Mozzarella Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Why did I not think of this?

Maybe I did in a fleeting moment and then instantly forgot?  Happen to you?  Happens to me, all the time.  If you don't know if it happens to you, recall every conversation you have ever had in your lifetime and try to remember if anyone ever described you as "flighty".

Yes.  I am "flighty".

Let's be "flighty" together.

If only because it's a fun word to say.  And type.

I'm sure somewhere between the many bricks of mozzarella cheese and loaves of garlic bread,  I've thought to myself, "hey, if I melt the mozzarella between two pieces of garlicky bread, I will then have a sandwich."

For whatever reason, though, I've never attempted it until now.

It's a super simple concept, really.  If you like cheesy garlic bread, you will love this.  If you are an adept grilled cheese maker, this will require no brain utilization whatsoever.

I dipped my sandwich into some homemade marinara that was leftover from dinner earlier in the week. But, I'd definitely like to try another go, this time with some yummy tomato soup.  I have a suspicion that the two would be best friends.

"Flighty."  Ahhh, still fun.




Garlic Mozzarella Grilled Cheese Sandwich

4 slices thick bread
2 thick slices real mozzarella
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp melted butter
1/2 tbsp dried parsley


Heat a skillet on medium heat.

In a bowl, combine garlic, butter and parsley.

Brush the garlic butter on both sides of each slice of bread.  The outer coat will brown the bread and the inner coat will melt into the cheese.

Place the mozzarella between two slices of bread.

Place in skillet and cook one side for 3-4 minutes.  Flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.  You may need to flip more than once until you achieve your desired level of browning on the bread.
