Cooking Steps

1

Spread sourdough with garlic herb butter; place on a clean work surface, buttered sides up. Evenly top half the slices with 3-4 slices of cheddar. Top with remaining bread, buttered sides down.

2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add sandwiches and cook until bread is golden and cheese melts, 2-3 minutes per side. (Work in batches if necessary.)

3

Cut in half on a diagonal.

Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: The garlic herb butter is the standout element, elevating the sandwich well beyond a standard grilled cheese. Some found it overpowering — use about half the butter for a more balanced result.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to pull together, though a few were unsure whether the butter goes inside or outside the bread; spread it on the inside faces for a rich, melty result.
  • Suggestions: Sharp cheddar divides opinion — those who prefer a milder melt might enjoy adding a slice of American, Monterey Jack, or provolone alongside it. Use only 2–3 slices of cheese per sandwich rather than the maximum 4, as the thick stack can be slow to melt through.
  • Portions: The recipe calls for 3–4 cheese slices per sandwich across 4 servings, but the package contains only 11 slices — plan on 2–3 slices each to make it work evenly.
  • Cooking tip: Cook over medium-low heat rather than medium-high; the garlic pieces in the butter can scorch before the cheese fully melts, leaving a bitter taste.

I love these grilled cheese! The garlic herb butter and the panini style bread are so good. I add white American cheese to the sharp cheddar to create the best grilled cheese ever.

The cheddar does not melt as well as American cheese in a grilled cheese sandwich. The herbed butter was delicious, but VERY rich - too rich in the quantities given, and we only used half. But tasted good.

I won't be able to have grilled cheese any other way because the garlic herb butter just made these sandwiches over the top!

So worth it! The price you pay for all of this is what you would pay for one of these items. The garlic butter was a nice touch, and they didn't send me Kraft cheese - it was sargento sharp cheddar and you got 11 slices!

The sourdough bread is pretty tasty, and adding the garlic herb butter makes it special for a grilled cheese sandwich.

Lol totally forgot I got grilled cheese because there was no menu for it! I used the bread, cheese, and garlic butter as an open faced sandwich with avocado and it was delicious!

Big fan of the garlic butter, but wish there was an option to add other kinds of cheese too, like Havarti 🤤
