Ingredients
  

For Garlic Spread:
  • 1 cup creamy mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
For Grilled Four-Cheese Sandwich:
  • 8 slices hearty artisan bread
  • 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices mild provolone cheese
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For Cheese Blend:
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded Double Gloucester or aged sharp cheddar
  • 2 tablespoons thick cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Garlic Spread
  1. To kick off, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, sea salt, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Blend until smooth. 
    This garlic spread adds a delightful layer of complexity to your sandwich and enhances the overall flavor profile. I often find myself sneaking bites of it before it even reaches the bread! Set this aside for later.
Step 2: Make the Cheese Blend
  1. Next up, grab a medium bowl and combine the softened cream cheese, shredded Double Gloucester or aged sharp cheddar, thick cream, and a sprinkle of sea salt. 
    This creamy cheese blend will take your sandwich to new heights. Trust me, the smooth richness is worth every moment of mixing!
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich
  1. Now it’s time to put all the delicious components together! Start with two slices of hearty artisan bread. Spread a generous layer of the garlic mixture on one side of each slice. 
    Next, lay down one slice of sharp cheddar cheese, followed by one slice of mild provolone cheese. 
    Now, add a dollop of the creamy cheese blend and top it off with another slice of sharp cheddar, another slice of provolone, and finally, close it off with the second slice of bread, garlic-side down.
Step 4: Grill It to Perfection
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt, coating the pan. Carefully place your sandwich in the pan and grill it until the bread is golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes. 
    Then, flip it over and repeat the process on the other side. Your kitchen will soon smell divine!
Step 5: Cut and Serve
  1. Once both sides are perfectly browned, remove the sandwich and let it rest for a minute. Cutting it while it's hot gives you that irresistible gooey cheese pull. Serve it up with your choice of sides. I’ll share some great suggestions later.

Notes

  • Pick a Good Bread: A hearty artisan bread works best because it can hold the weight of all that cheese without falling apart.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and high-quality cheese make a noticeable difference in taste.
  • Don’t Rush the Grilling: Medium heat is key. You want a crispy exterior without burning.
  • Experiment with Cheeses: While I’ve provided a classic blend, feel free to try different cheeses based on your preferences.
  • Make It Unforgettable: Add extras like caramelized onions or spinach for a gourmet touch.
