Garlic Grilled Cheese

Category: Sandwiches

Serves/Makes: 2
Difficulty: 2
Prep/Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

4 T unsalted butter
2 large garlic cloves
1 T fresh chives (finely chopped)
4 thick pieces American Cheese
4 pieces good bread
kosher salt
sliced dill pickles

Preparation:

In a small sauce pan over low heat add butter. Grate garlic cloves on a microplane directly over butter. Add chives and salt to taste. Whisk ingredients together while butter is melting and set aside.

Place a skillet over med-high heat. With a pastry brush, brush one piece of bread generously with the butter mixture and place in middle of heated skillet. Add two pieces of the cheese and top with another piece of bread. Generously brush the top piece as well.

Cook for about 3 minutes on the first side (check after 2) and about 1 minute on the second, until golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat for second sandwich.

Remove from pan and place sliced dill pickle inside sandwich and serve.

Cooks Notes - I guarantee you will never have grilled cheese the old fashioned way again. I also recommend you use real American cheese, not the processed cheese. It makes all the difference in the taste.
