Ingredients
- 4 slices thick-cut sourdough bread
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt.
- Spread the garlic butter on one side of each bread slice.
- Flip the bread slices over and divide the mozzarella and cheddar cheese between two slices (on the non-buttered side).
- Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwiches in the pan.
- Grill each side for 3–4 minutes, pressing slightly, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet, let cool for a minute, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Use sour cream and onion butter for a flavor twist.
- Add pepperoni or marinara for an Italian-style version.
- Try gouda and provolone for a smoky variation.
- Sprinkle parmesan on the outside of the bread before grilling for extra crunch.
- Use gluten-free or keto-friendly bread if needed.
