Instructions :

1Start by taking out all the ingredients and placing them on a clean counter for easy access.
2Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3While the skillet is heating, take the unsalted butter and allow it to soften slightly at room temperature.
4In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, mixing until well incorporated.
5Take the whole wheat bread slices and lay them flat on a cutting board.
6Spread a thin, even layer of the butter mixture on one side of each bread slice.
7Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the buttered side of two of the bread slices.
8Place a slice of mozzarella cheese over each slice of cheddar cheese.
9Add another slice of cheddar cheese on top of the mozzarella.
10Top with the remaining two slices of bread, buttered side facing outwards, to create two cheese sandwiches.
11Add the olive oil to the preheated skillet, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly.
12Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet.
13Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
14Flip the sandwiches over and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, again pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
15Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a cutting board.
16Allow the sandwiches to cool for a minute or two.
17Use a sharp knife to cut each sandwich in half diagonally, if desired.
18Serve the crustless grilled cheese sandwiches warm and enjoy.

Notes :

  • Ensure all ingredients are fresh and at room temperature for best results
  • Use a large non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and promote even browning
  • If you prefer, you can use a different type of cheese such as American or Swiss
  • Allowing the butter to soften makes it easier to spread evenly on the bread
  • A small bowl is useful for mixing the butter with spices for a uniform flavor
  • Whole wheat bread adds a nutty flavor and more fiber compared to white bread
  • Adjust the amount of garlic powder, salt, and pepper according to taste
  • If you don't have olive oil, vegetable or canola oil can be used as a substitute
  • Make sure to spread the butter mixture evenly to avoid burning
  • Preheating the skillet ensures the sandwiches start cooking immediately
  • Pressing down gently with a spatula helps the cheese melt evenly
  • Monitor the heat to prevent the bread from burning before the cheese melts
  • Letting the sandwiches cool slightly allows the cheese to set a bit, making them easier to cut
  • Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and to prevent the cheese from pulling out
  • Serving warm enhances the gooey texture of the melted cheese

Tips :

  • Ensure the butter is softened to make spreading easier and more even
  • Use room temperature cheese for quicker melting
  • Preheat the skillet properly to ensure even browning
  • If the bread is fresh, you can slightly toast it first to prevent sogginess
  • Adjust the amount of garlic powder, salt, and pepper to suit personal taste
  • Use high-quality whole wheat bread for better texture and flavor
  • Consider using a mix of cheeses for a more complex flavor
  • Press down gently with a spatula to achieve a uniform crust
  • Monitor the heat to avoid burning the bread while waiting for the cheese to melt
  • If the cheese isn't melting, cover the skillet with a lid to trap heat
  • Let the sandwiches rest briefly after cooking to allow the cheese to set slightly
  • Use a serrated knife for cleaner cuts when slicing the sandwiches
  • Serve with a side of tomato soup or salad for a complete meal
  • Experiment with additional fillings like tomato slices or cooked bacon for variation
  • For a crispier texture, use a combination of butter and mayonnaise on the bread
  • If available, use a panini press for even cooking and a distinctive pattern
