In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of softened butter, 1/2 tablespoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy garlic butter spread.

Spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring an even coating.

Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, in a preheated skillet. Sprinkle half of the cheese blend evenly over each slice.

Lower the heat to low and cook the sandwiches for 4-5 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms.

Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the other side is golden-brown and the cheese is melted.

Remove the sandwiches and let them rest on a wire rack for a minute. Slice in half and serve hot.
