Ingredients
For the Roasted Garlic
- 2 large bulbs Garlic Don’t skip the garlic; it’s what makes this sandwich special!
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil Drizzle over the garlic before roasting.
- Pinch Salt Used for seasoning the roasted garlic.
For the Sandwich
- 8 slices Bread (Tiger bread, Sourdough, or any preferred type) Any bread of your choice can be used.
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese Use shredded for easy melting.
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese Use shredded for easy melting.
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese Use shredded for easy melting.
- as needed tablespoons Butter Spread on the bread before grilling.
Instructions
Roasting the Garlic
- Slice off the very tip of the garlic bulbs to expose all the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, about 1 teaspoon per bulb.
- Individually wrap the garlic in foil and roast in the oven at 180C/350F for 45-60 minutes, until tender and caramelized.
- Let the garlic cool, then squeeze out the roasted cloves onto a chopping board. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and mash it up a bit.
Assembling and Cooking the Sandwich
- Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter and the other with the mashed roasted garlic.
- Place a generous amount of cheese on four slices of bread and top those with another slice, butter-side-up.
- Fry in a pan over medium heat until golden and crispy, flipping to ensure both sides are cooked through and the cheese is melt-in-your-mouth gooey.
Notes
For serving, place the sandwiches on a big cutting board and cut them into triangles. Paired with homemade tomato soup or fresh salad for a delicious meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven for best results.
