Ingredients You’ll Need

(Serves 4)

4 slices thick-cut white bread (like Texas toast or brioche, ~1 inch thick)
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Optional: 1 tbsp chopped parsley, pinch of red pepper flakes, or grated Parmesan

💡 Pro Tips:
Use real butter—margarine won’t crisp or flavor the same.
Shred your own cheese—pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that don’t melt smoothly.
Don’t skimp on thickness—thin bread burns; thick slices stay tender inside.
