Garlic-y grilled cheese - a perfect birthday lunch when my brother visited (he's a huge fan of both cheese and garlic).  Homemade bread with a homemade mix of garlic butter.  Yum! 

Birthday Garlic-y Grilled Cheese!

Garlic-y Grilled Cheese!

Garlic butter makes ~8 sandwiches, so you can make more, as needed. 

Make in advance, so it can cool an hour or two before slicing: 

Delicious French Bread-Style Family Loaves  I used all eggs instead of only egg whites for these grilled cheese sandwiches when making the bread and make a 4 loaf batch of bread for taller sandwiches.   

Mix together garlic butter:

1/2 cup softened butter

~1 Tbsp minced garlic

1-2 tsp garlic powder

3/4 tsp parsley

Slice cheese for your grilled cheese, some nice options are: 

old cheddar, gouda, swiss, marbled

Heat a cast-iron or similar pan over medium-low heat.  You want these grilled cheese to cook slow enough for the cheese to melt in the center, while nicely toasting the exteriors.  

Layer in your pan a slice of garlic-buttered bread, 2 layers of cheese, topped with another layer of garlic-buttered bread.  

Buttered bread, ready to make the sandwiches!

Cooking on the cast iron.

Cook until nicely browned on both sides.  You can flip these a few times to make sure they're evenly cooked and the cheese is nicely melted.  Serve immediately! Enjoy! 

Yummmmm.!
