Perfect Starbucks Grilled Cheese (copycat recipe)
This Starbucks Grilled Cheese copycat recipe might be the most perfect grilled cheese on the planet...and it won't cost you six dollars! Two cheeses are melted into this sandwich that's coated with a butter and Parmesan spread then toasted to perfection. Ooey, gooey and melty...it seriously doesn't get much better!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 slices mozzarella cheese See Note 1
- 2 slices white cheddar cheese See Note 1
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together butter and Parmesan cheese.
- Spread one side of each slice of bread generously with the butter mixture.
- Layer mozzarella and cheddar cheese slices on the non-buttered side of bread. You may have to tear the slices to get them to fit! Top sandwiches with remaining slices of bread.
- Heat a large skillet to medium/low. Add sandwiches and brown 1-2 minutes on each side until cheese is melted. Make sure you keep the heat low to medium so the cheese has a chance to melt. Pro Tip: Cover the skillet with a cookie sheet to help the cheese melt faster!
- Remove grilled cheese from skillet, cut in half and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Note 1: Starbucks uses a combination of mozzarella and white cheddar cheese in their grilled cheese. I prefer cheese SLICES because I feel like it yields the most MELTY grilled cheese. But shredded cheese works well, too! I get White American Cheddar cheese at the deli counter at my chain grocery store. Provolone, havarti, fontina and yellow cheddar are also super melty and work great.
