Ingredients
  

For the Cream Cheese Spread
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese Adds richness and a creamy texture; try mascarpone for a unique twist.
  • 4 oz Double Gloucester or Cheddar Cheese Provides a sharp flavor; any sharp cheddar is a suitable substitute.
  • 2 tbsp Heavy Cream Enhances richness; replace with whole milk for lighter option.
  • 1 tsp Coarse Salt Elevates flavor; feel free to use regular salt instead.
For the Garlic Spread
  • 2 tbsp Mayonnaise Acts as base for the spread, adding creaminess; light mayo can offer a healthier alternative.
  • 1 clove Minced Garlic Infuses the spread with flavor; using fresh garlic will give you a bolder taste.
For the Sandwich
  • 4 slices Artisan Bread Offers structure and texture; consider sourdough or multigrain for variation.
  • 2 oz Cheddar Cheese For that classic melty goodness; opt for a mild version if desired.
  • 2 oz Provolone Cheese Adds a mild, slightly tangy flavor that beautifully complements cheddar.

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Skillet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Disney’s Grilled Cheese
  1. Begin by blending the cream cheese, either Double Gloucester or cheddar cheese, and heavy cream in a food processor until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Add a pinch of coarse salt and pulse briefly.
  2. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of coarse salt. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Spread the garlic mixture on one side of each slice of artisan bread. On the non-garlic side of one slice, layer cheddar cheese, then provolone cheese, and a dollop of cream cheese spread. Top with the second slice of bread, garlic side down.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a pat of butter. Place the sandwich in the skillet, pressing down gently. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until melted.
  5. Remove from the skillet, let cool for a minute, then slice in half to serve warm, possibly with a bowl of tomato soup.

Notes

Grilling on medium heat ensures golden-brown bread while the cheeses melt perfectly. Avoid high heat to prevent burning. Consider using a lid to help melt the cheese evenly.
