Ingredients

• For the Cream Cheese Spread:
• 1/2 cup cream cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded Double Gloucester or sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp heavy cream
• 1/4 tsp coarse salt
• For the Garlic Spread:
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp coarse salt
• For the Grilled Four-Cheese Sandwich:
• 8 slices artisan bread
• 8 slices medium cheddar cheese
• 8 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

1. Step 1: Prepare the cream cheese spread by combining cream cheese, shredded cheese, heavy cream, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until smooth and well combined.
2. Step 2: Make the garlic spread by mixing mayonnaise, minced garlic, and salt in a bowl until evenly blended.
3. Step 3: Lay out the 8 slices of bread. On 4 slices, place 2 slices of cheddar cheese each. On the other 4 slices, place 2 slices of provolone cheese each.
4. Step 4: Divide the cream cheese spread into 4 portions and spread each portion onto the slices with provolone cheese.
5. Step 5: Top each provolone slice with the cheddar-topped bread slices, creating sandwiches with the cream cheese spread in the middle.
6. Step 6: Spread the garlic spread on the outside of each sandwich evenly.
7. Step 7: Heat a heavy-duty skillet over medium heat. Place one sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
8. Step 8: Repeat with the remaining sandwiches and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use artisan or sourdough bread for added flavor and sturdiness.
• For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cream cheese spread.
• Try substituting the provolone with mozzarella for a milder taste.
• Cook sandwiches on a lower heat if you want the cheese to melt more thoroughly without burning the bread.

Storage

Store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat to keep the bread crisp and the cheese melted. Avoid microwaving to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.

FAQs

Can I make the cream cheese spread ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the cream cheese spread a day in advance. Keep it covered in the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature before assembling the sandwiches for easier spreading.

What if I don’t have a food processor for the cream cheese spread?

You can finely mix the cream cheese, shredded cheese, heavy cream, and salt by hand using a fork or a hand mixer until smooth, though a food processor makes the process quicker and ensures a creamier texture.

Cream Cheese Spread

Garlic Spread

• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 1/2 tsp minced Garlic
• 1/2 tsp Coarse salt

Grilled Four-Cheese Sandwich

• 8 slices Artisan bread
• 8 slices Medium cheddar cheese
• 8 slices Provolone cheese

Instructions

1. Make the Cream Cheese Spread: Put all the cream cheese spread ingredients into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and well combined to create a creamy and flavorful spread.
2. Prepare the Garlic Spread: In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and coarse salt until fully combined, forming a garlicky and tangy outer spread for the sandwich.
3. Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay out all 8 slices of artisan bread. On 4 slices, lay 2 slices of cheddar cheese each. On the remaining 4 slices, place 2 slices of provolone cheese each. Divide the cream cheese spread evenly into 4 portions and spread each portion onto the provolone-topped bread slices. Close each sandwich by placing a cheddar-topped slice on top of a provolone slice, sandwiching the cream cheese spread in the middle.
4. Apply Garlic Spread to Outside: Spread the garlic mayonnaise evenly on the outside surfaces of each assembled sandwich to enhance flavor and help achieve a crispy golden crust.
5. Cook the Sandwiches: Heat a heavy-duty skillet over medium heat. Place one sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook an additional 2 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheeses inside have melted thoroughly.
6. Repeat Cooking: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining sandwiches until all are browned and melted. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.
