Disney Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe
Equipment
- Food processor
- Bowl
- Knife
- Spatula
Ingredients
For the Cream Cheese Spread:
- 1/2 cup Cream cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Double Gloucester or sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream
- 1/4 tsp Coarse salt
For the Garlic Spread:
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tsp minced Garlic
- 1/2 tsp Coarse salt
For the Grilled Four-Cheese Sandwich:
- 8 slices Artisan bread
- 8 slices Medium cheddar cheese
- 8 slices Provolone cheese
Instructions
Cream Cheese Spread
- Put all the cream cheese spread ingredients into a food processor.
- Pulse until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Garlic Spread
- In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and salt.
Sandwich Assembly and Cooking
- Lay out all 8 slices of bread.
- On 4 of the bread slices, place 2 slices of cheddar cheese each.
- On the other 4 slices, place 2 slices of provolone cheese each.
- Divide the cream cheese spread into 4 portions. Spread each portion onto the slices with provolone cheese.
- Place the cheddar-topped bread slices on top of the provolone slices, so the cream cheese spread is in the middle.
- Spread the garlic spread on the outside of each sandwich.
- Heat a heavy-duty skillet over medium heat.
- Place a sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
Notes
- If you find that your sliced cheese is too big for your bread slices, consider using one slice of each cheese per sandwich but tearing it into two pieces to fit better.
- I used a heavy-duty professional stainless steel skillet. If you encounter sticking, don’t worry! A stainless steel spatula should help lift the sandwich easily. Alternatively, you can experiment with a nonstick skillet or a griddle to see if it works better for you.

Can I Use Different Types of Cheese?
Yes, absolutely! While the recipe suggests using cheddar and provolone, feel free to experiment with your favourite cheeses. Gouda, mozzarella, Swiss, or even pepper jack can add unique flavors to your grilled cheese.
Can I Make This Recipe Ahead of Time?
While grilled cheese sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh off the skillet, you can prepare the cream cheese spread and garlic spread in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Assemble the sandwiches just before cooking for the best texture and flavor.
Can I Use a Different Cooking Method?
Sure! If you don’t have a skillet, you can use a panini press, griddle, or even a regular toaster to make your grilled cheese sandwiches. Just adjust the cooking time and temperature accordingly to ensure that the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted to perfection.
