Starbucks Grilled Cheese (copycat recipe)

Starbucks Grilled Cheese Recipe

This Starbucks-inspired grilled cheese recipe might just be the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich—and it’s way better than spending six dollars! Featuring a blend of two cheeses, this sandwich is coated with a savory butter and Parmesan spread, then toasted to golden perfection. Ooey, gooey, and irresistibly melty…it’s hard to beat this delicious creation!

Ingredients

Scale

2 tbsp butter, softened

2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated

4 slices sourdough bread

2 slices mozzarella cheese 

2 slices white cheddar cheese 

Instructions

Prepare the Butter Spread: In a small bowl, mix softened butter with grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.

Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the butter and Parmesan mixture generously on one side of each slice of bread. On the non-buttered side of one slice, layer slices of mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Tear the cheese slices if needed to fit. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

Cook the Grilled Cheese: Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Keep the heat low to medium to ensure the cheese melts without burning the bread.

Pro Tip: Cover the skillet with a cookie sheet or lid to trap heat and help the cheese melt faster.

Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut them in half, and enjoy immediately while they’re warm and gooey!

Notes

Starbucks combines mozzarella and white cheddar in their grilled cheese, but I love using cheese slices for the ultimate meltiness. That said, shredded cheese works just as well! I usually pick up white American cheddar from the deli counter at my local grocery store. Other great options include provolone, havarti, fontina, or even yellow cheddar—all of which melt beautifully and add delicious flavor
