The only thing better than a toasty grilled cheese sandwich filled with gooey melted cheese on the inside, is a Parmesan Crusted Grilled Cheese Sandwich with the most incredible crispy garlic Parmesan crust on the outside! Today I’m beyond excited to share my Parmesan Grilled Cheese Sandwich with you guys! I’ve always been a HUGE lover of grilled cheese sandwiches because who could ever resist ooey gooey cheese nestled between golden brown buttery bread? Not me! Let me tell you though, the crust on my Parmesan Grilled Cheese Sandwich is so stinkin’ divine! It’s so good your going to sink back into your chair, close your eyes and fall in love! Something magical happens when you combine the soft melted cheese on the inside with that crispy, golden brown, buttery and cheesy crust on the outside! Well, by now you know that I married a dairy farmer and have lived on this stinky ol’ farm for almost twenty years! I can’t believe it’s been that long since I agreed to live here with all these cows, flies, crazy hours, and pretty much be joined at the hip with this farm! After I met Justin and he told me he was a dairy farmer I think my heart sunk a little! He was a really great guy but I just didn’t want to be married to a filthy dirty, no days off, muck boot wearing dairyman! Right after I decided my heart didn’t need to be sunken I told him that I’d actually been supporting him for many, many years! I was convinced I was single handedly supporting the entire dairy industry with my love of cheese! I can pound more cheese in a month than most people can pound in a whole year. Surely Justin was getting his a portion of my hard earned money I spend on cheese! I’m seriously an addict. After I’ve been on vacation for a few days I start to really crave salty cheese! I add it to every single meal I make; pasta, scrambled eggs, cheese burgers, salads, mashed potatoes, and even pancakes (don’t knock it till you try it, it’s good)! I’ll take cheese any way I can get it! But I have to admit that ultra comforting Parmesan Crusted Grilled Cheese Sandwiches will always be at the top of my list of favorite meals!

Parmesan Crusted Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Parmesan Grilled Cheese Sandwiches are everything you love about the classic plus they have the most scruptious buttery garlic and parmesan crust on the golden brown outside! I know you are going to love it...a lot!
Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time5 mins
Total Time10 mins
Course: Sandwich
Cuisine: American
Servings: 1
Author: Amy

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread
  • 2 slices of cheese such as cheddar, swiss, pepper jack, colby jack, etc.
  • 1-2 T. butter
  • 1 T. grated parmesan cheese
  • dash garlic salt

Instructions

  • Spread butter one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle butter side with garlic salt and parmesan cheese. I like to gently press and spread with a knife just to help ensure the paremesan sticks and stays in place. If it seems too dry you can always add and spread another thin layer of butter.
  • Build sandwich with buttered sides of bread on the outside and cheese slices in the middle.
  • In a nonstick pan grill over medium heat until golden brown. The parmesan will make the sandwich stick to the pan until it has formed a nice golden brown crust then it will be easy to flip!
  • Grill the other side.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Slice in half.
  • Serve immediately!

    Hi Amy
    How do you add the jam to the sandwich.

      February 12, 2018 at 11:57 pm

      Hi Jackie! You can spread jam on the inside of one piece of bread if you would like. Or, my favorite way is to put a little bit of raspberry or strawberry jam in a little container and dip my sandwich in it! It’s kind of like eating fruit and cheese! I think it’s the savory sweet combination that makes it so tasty! Let me know how you like it!

    Excellent! The crust is delicious and definitely adds a new dimension to a grilled cheese sandwich. I used coarsely grated Parmigiano Reggiano (about 1/4 cup for 1 sandwich) mixed with a sprinkling of finely chopped basil, and brushed the bread slices with melted butter before adding the cheese so that it would stick. Grilled cheese is one of my favorite sandwiches and I like to vary the breads and cheese fillings. For this one I went with my homemade anadama bread, brie, proscuitto, and sliced pears. The sharp parmesan was a great pairing with the mild brie.

      Yes! You can mix the parmesan right in with the butter. I make my Dill Pickle Grilled Cheese Sandwiches exactly like that. You can check that post out here https://www.littledairyontheprairie.com/dill-pickle-grilled-cheese-sandwich/

      Adding tomatoes, especially fresh from the garden, is a perfect addition!

    What kind of Parmesan cheese do you use for the outside? The stuff in green can (Kraft) or grated Parmesan cheese? These look absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to try them!

    • Amy EngbersonAmy Engberson says

      January 8, 2019 at 10:58 am

      I usually put a chunk of parmesan cheese in my blender and pulse it until it resembles the kind in the green can. I make a big batch and store it in the fridge to use for a couple weeks. But if you don’t want to fuss with that, the kind in the can will work perfectly!

      Hi there Bob. First of all, I’d like to suggest that if you don’t like hearing about my life story perhaps you would be happier looking at a different blog, or maybe even purchasing a cookbook. Be sure to flip through the pages before you buy because several cookbooks that have a personal touch from the authors life. Secondly, it’s obvious you don’t understand how blogging works, and I wouldn’t either if I wasn’t a blogger. It takes hours and hours to develop recipes, create the actual food, photograph, edit, and upload to the site. Most bloggers don’t have the luxury of doing that as an unpaid hobby. Ads are one way bloggers earn money. If it wasn’t for ads on our sites we wouldn’t be able to continue to provide FREE recipes to you. Remember, even if you purchase a magazine it will contain ads and you’d have to pay for the magazine and still flip through the obnoxious ads. If the obnoxious ads on my site aren’t worth it to you I’d suggest you go buy ad free cookbooks. You probably don’t donate your time to your career and I can’t either. On a brighter note, I hope you loved the Parmesan Crusted Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
