Disneyland-Style Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

• 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 0.667 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1.5 tbsp heavy cream
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt (divided)
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 garlic (cloves, finely minced)
• 8 slices hearty white bread
• 8 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
• 8 slices provolone cheese

Steps

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded sharp Cheddar, heavy cream, and 1/4 teaspoon of the kosher salt. Stir until well combined, then set aside.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, finely minced garlic, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   Arrange 2 slices of sharp Cheddar on each of 4 bread slices. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the Cheddar-topped bread, then top each with 2 slices of provolone.

4. 4

   Close each sandwich with one of the remaining bread slices.

5. 5

   Spread half of the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the tops of the sandwiches.

6. 6

   Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet mayonnaise-side down.

7. 7

   Spread the remaining mayonnaise mixture over the exposed sides of the sandwiches.

8. 8

   Cook, flipping occasionally, until both sides are golden brown, the bread is well toasted, and the cheese has melted. The video advises cooking low and slow so the cheese melts inside.

Notes

The written recipe specifies medium heat; the video advises cooking low and slow to allow the cheese to melt. Cook time is not specified in the source and will vary with the skillet and heat.
