Roasted Garlic and Tomato Grilled Cheese

Ingredient Highlights

• Roasted Garlic: Slow-roasting garlic transforms it into a sweet, caramelized spread, adding depth and richness.
• Sundried Tomato Paste: Intensifies the umami and adds a bright, tangy contrast to the cheese.
• Milk Bread: Light and fluffy with a tender crumb, it crisps beautifully while staying soft inside.
• Sargento® American Cheese: Melts effortlessly, giving that perfect gooey texture in every bite.

Pro Tips for the Best Grilled Cheese

• Pre-toast the bread: This helps maintain crispness while ensuring even toasting.
• Mash the butter well: A smooth, spreadable consistency guarantees even flavor distribution.
• Control the heat: Cooking on medium prevents burning while allowing the cheese to melt fully.
• Press gently while cooking: This helps the bread make full contact with the skillet for a crispier crust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cheese?

Yes! Aged cheddar, provolone, or a mix of mozzarella and parmesan would work beautifully.

What’s the best way to roast garlic?

Wrap whole garlic cloves in foil with a drizzle of olive oil and roast at 375°F for 30–40 minutes until soft and golden.

How can I add extra flavor?

A pinch of red pepper flakes in the butter adds a subtle heat, or try a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra depth.
