INGREDIENT NOTES & SUBSTITUTIONS
Trader Joe’s Garlic Spread Dip: This dip is heaven and there are so many ways to use it, BUT slathering it on a grilled cheese is one of the BEST ways to use it. It’s found in the cold section at TJ’s near the dips and cheeses.
Trader Joe’s Cracked Wheat Bread: Hands down, the best grilled cheese bread! Perfectly crispy every time. You can also use your favorite hearty bread for this grilled cheese.
Casey’s Top Tip: My favorite “melty” cheeses for a grilled cheese are havarti, fontina, mozzarella, provolone, and white cheddar. Use one or a combination of a couple of these! Use slices or shred straight off the block for the meltiest cheese goodness!

Trader Joe’s Garlic Spread Grilled Cheese
Ingredients
- 4 slices Trader Joe's Cracked Wheat Bread
- 1 8oz. tub Trader Joe's Garlic Spread Dip
- 4 oz. favorite melty cheese suggestions: havarti, mozzarella, gouda, fontina, Provolone
Instructions
- Prep: Heat a nonstick large skillet or griddle to medium heat. Spread BOTH sides of each slice of bread generously with the garlic spread dip. Note: Use about 1 tbsp per side for a rich, garlicky flavor. For less garlic flavor, just use the garlic spread on the inside and use butter or olive oil on the outside.
- Cook: Place two slices of bread on your skillet or griddle. Top each piece with cheese. Place the remaining two slices of bread on top. Cook the sandwiches for about 2-3 minutes on one side- or until golden brown. Then flip, and cook on the other side until golden brown and all the cheese is nicely melted. Tip: if your cheese isn’t melting well, place a lid or baking sheet over your skillet for a minute or so.
- Finish: Cut each sandwich in half and serve.
This is the most perfect grilled cheese–gooey cheese and Trader Joe’s garlic spread dip in every bite! We hope you love it as much as we do!
