Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Butter

  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened Can substitute with margarine if preferred.
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder Fresh garlic can be used instead, finely minced.
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley Oregano can be used as a substitute.

For the Sandwich

  • 4 slices bread Use sturdy bread; sourdough is a great choice.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a small bowl, mix softened butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley until well combined.
  • Spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread, covering all the way to the edges.

Cooking

  • Place two slices butter-side down on a skillet and add half the cheese on each. Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
  • Heat the skillet over low heat. Cook sandwiches for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  • Remove from the pan, slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to add ingredients like pesto for variation. Fresh garlic provides a different flavor profile, and any bread that holds cheese and butter works well.
