"What makes the sandwich so special is the crispy, crunchy cheese coating on the outside of the bread. In order to recreate that coating at home, you need to make a compound butter. Despite a complex-sounding name, compound butter is an easy method for flavoring butter that involves adding ingredients to softened butter. In the case of the Starbucks grilled cheese, you'll be mixing in Parmesan cheese and minced garlic into butter."
"Once the butter is soft, stir in grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic and spread the compound butter over one side of each piece of bread. Ensure that each piece is generously coated, then you can assemble the sandwich, placing the cheese on the unbuttered side of one of the slices, topping it with the other slice, and grilling it over a hot skillet."
A Parmesan and minced garlic compound butter creates a crispy, crunchy cheese coating on the outside of the bread. Soften butter by leaving it at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes, then stir in grated Parmesan and minced garlic. Spread the compound butter generously on one side of each slice, assemble with cheese on the unbuttered side, and grill the sandwich in a hot skillet. Use sourdough for sturdiness, reliable toasting, and a tangy contrast to rich cheese. The compound butter toasts the bread, forms a crunchy Parmesan crust, and adds aromatic, cheesy flavor.
