How to Prepare Disney Grilled Cheese

Making the Disney Grilled Cheese is as easy as it is delicious! Follow these simple steps to achieve grilled cheese perfection. With each step, you’ll see how this simple meal transforms into a delightful dish that’s sure to impress everyone at the table.

1. Step 1 – Prepping the mayo and cream cheese mixtures: Start by mixing together mayonnaise, garlic powder, and coarse sea salt in a bowl. Make sure it’s well combined and then set it aside. In another bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, additional coarse salt, and shredded Parmesan cheese. If you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle in a dash of cayenne pepper for a little heat. Mix everything until it’s smooth and set this bowl aside as well.

2. Step 2 – Layering the sandwich: Take a slice of your chosen Artisan bread and spread a generous amount of the garlic mayonnaise on one side. Then place this slice, mayonnaise side down, in a large skillet over medium heat. On top of the bread, layer two slices of sharp cheddar cheese followed by the cream cheese mixture. Optionally, drizzle some honey on top – it adds a delightful surprise! Then, add two slices of provolone cheese on top. Finally, spread more mayonnaise on another slice of bread and place it on top, mayonnaise side out.

3. Step 3: Grilling the sandwich: Heat the grilled cheese sandwich in the skillet, allowing it to brown on one side and melt the cheese. You’re looking for a beautiful golden-brown color and gooey melted cheese. Once done, carefully remove it from the pan and repeat the process for the second sandwich. Serve immediately while hot for the best experience!
