Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • heart-shaped cookie cutter
  • spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Sandwiches

  • 4 slices bread use your favorite type like whole grain or sourdough for a flavor boost
  • 4 slices cheese cheddar or American; the gooier the cheese, the better for melty perfection

For the Spread

  • 2 tablespoons butter softens easily for an even golden crust
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise optional; adds an extra crispness and richness

For the Seasoning

  • 1 pinch garlic powder optional; adds a subtle garlic flavor
  • 1 pinch paprika optional; introduces a mild smokiness

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Start by placing the 4 slices of your chosen bread on a cutting board. Layer a slice of cheese on top of each piece.
  • Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, firmly press down to punch out hearts from the bread and cheese.
  • Evenly spread softened butter on one side of each heart-shaped sandwich.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
  • If you opted for mayonnaise, spread it on the unbuttered side now. Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder and paprika over the top.
  • Cook the sandwiches for 2 to 3 minutes or until the bottom turns perfectly golden brown.
  • Once cooked, remove the Heart-Shaped Grilled Cheese Dippers from the skillet and let them cool for a minute.

Notes

These dippers are perfect for serving with your favorite dipping sauces like homemade marinara or ranch.
