Disney Grilled Cheese Ingredients

This iconic Disney Grilled Sandwich from Toy Story Land might be hard to get to right now, but no worries – you can make it at home with this simple recipe! Now our recipe is the viral TikTok Disney Grilled Cheese version, which has a few slight variations. But if you want the original recipe, that is also listed below in a link.

Both are amazing, decadent, and a delicious way to indulge in better-than-average Grilled Cheese right from your own kitchen. While sometimes a main dish, this ultimate grilled cheese is a beautiful side dish compliment to thick creamy winter soups like tomato or broccoli cheese.

This particular Copycat version of the Disney Grilled Cheese recipe was inspired by TikTok – Our recipe was altered and inspired from @theogkitchenwitch – see her version here.

Where can you find the Grilled Cheese in the Disney Parks?

The original classic recipe of this famous grilled cheese is located in Toy Story Land inside Woody’s Lunch Box restaurant which is located in Hollywood Studios.

What is different about this TikTok Grilled Cheese vs the Disney Blog Grilled Cheese?

In the Disney blog recipe, there are no spices like Cayenne or Red Pepper. There is also no Honey drizzle and Disney uses heavy cream to thin out the cream cheese.

To be honest, I have made both and both are delicious and very close in flavor.

How to make Disney Grilled Cheese

Step 1 – PREPPING THE MAYO AND CREAM CHEESE

1. Mix together mayonnaise, garlic powder and sea salt – set bowl aside.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, sea salt and freshly shredded Parmesan cheese.
3. OPTIONAL: If you would like a bit of spice, sprinkle with a dash of cayenne pepper in this step.
4. Mix all cream cheese ingredients well. Set bowl aside.

Step 2 – LAYERING THE SANDWICH

• Spread garlic mayonnaise onto a slice of bread.
• Place a bread slice, mayonnaise side down, in a large skillet.
• Top with 2 slices of fresh cheddar cheese, cream cheese spread, optionally drizzle with honey (about a tsp – you can be generous if you like honey or less if you like less sweetness) and top with 2 slices of provolone cheese.
• Add mayonnaise on another slice of bread and place it on top of the sandwich in the pan, mayonnaise side out.

Step 3: GRILLING THE SANDWICH

• Heat grilled cheese sandwich over medium heat, browning each side and melting the cheese.
• Once each side is golden brown and the cheese is melty and gooey, remove from pan.
• Repeat process for 2nd sandwich.
• Serve immediately while hot.
• This recipe makes 2 large sandwiches which are perfect to dip into soups like Cabbage Soup, Wendy’s copycat Chili or Butternut Squash Soup.
