๐Ÿง€๐Ÿš€ Creamy cheese spread and garlicky mayo elevate grilled cheese to Disney Toy Story Land magic โ€“ melty perfection!
๐Ÿฅช Quick gourmet sandwich brings theme park joy home, kid-approved fun with adult flavors!

  • Total Time: 26 minutes
  • Yield: 4 sandwiches (8 halves)

Ingredients

– 1/2 cup cream cheese

– 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

– 2 tablespoons heavy cream

– 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

– 1 cup mayonnaise

– 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

– 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

– 8 slices artisan bread

– 8 medium cheddar cheese slices

– 8 provolone cheese slices

Instructions

1-First Step: Make the cream cheese spread Place the cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, heavy cream, and 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture turns smooth and creamy. This spread should be thick but easy to scoop. If you do not have a food processor, you can mash and stir by hand, though the texture will be a little less silky.

2-Second Step: Mix the garlic spread In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt. Mix well so the garlic is evenly spread through the mayo. This is the layer that helps the bread turn golden in the skillet.

3-Third Step: Set up the bread and cheese Lay out all 8 slices of artisan bread on a clean work surface. Place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on 4 pieces of bread. On the other 4 slices, place 2 slices of provolone each. If your cheese slices are large, you can use one slice of each cheese per sandwich and tear them into two pieces, just like the recipe tip suggests.

4-Fourth Step: Add the cream cheese spread Divide the cream cheese spread among the provolone halves. Spread it evenly so every bite gets that creamy, tangy layer. Then close the sandwiches by pairing each cheddar side with a provolone side. Press gently so the filling stays in place.

5-Fifth Step: Heat the skillet Set a skillet over medium heat. A nonstick pan or griddle works best, but a cast iron skillet can still work if you keep a spatula nearby. Heat the pan for a minute or two before adding the sandwiches so the bread starts browning right away.

6-Sixth Step: Spread the garlic mixture on the bread Spread the garlic mayo mixture on the outside of each sandwich. Be generous, but keep the layer even so it browns well without burning. This gives the Disneyland Grilled Cheese its rich, savory crust.

7-Seventh Step: Cook until golden Place each sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes per side. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook the second side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If the heat is too high, lower it a bit so the outside does not brown before the cheese softens.

8-Final Step: Slice and serve warm Remove the sandwiches from the pan and let them rest for about a minute. Slice them in half and serve while the cheese is still gooey. This recipe yields 8 sandwich halves, which makes it great for sharing or serving a small group.

Notes

๐Ÿง€ Trim larger cheese slices to fit bread or tear into pieces for even coverage.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Use nonstick skillet or griddle to prevent sticking over cast iron.
