Ultimate Pan-Fried Cheesy Garlic Bread Sandwich

Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 slices bread
- 4 cheddar cheese slices

Instructions

1. Prepare the Spread:
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until smooth and well blended.

2. Assemble the Sandwich:
Lay out the four slices of bread. Spread a generous layer of the butter-mayonnaise mixture on one side of each slice. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread. Top each with another slice of bread, buttered side facing up, to form two sandwiches.

3. Preheat the Pan:
Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Let it preheat for about 2 minutes.

4. Pan Fry the Sandwiches:
Place the assembled sandwiches in the preheated pan. Allow them to cook for about 3–4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

5. Flip and Finish:
Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula. Cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until the second side is equally golden and the cheese is fully melted.

6. Serve:
Remove the sandwiches from the pan, let cool for a minute, then slice diagonally for serving. Enjoy your ultimate cheesy garlic bread sandwich!
