Ingredients
  

4 slices of rustic sourdough bread

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)

1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly integrated.

    Assemble the Sandwiches: Take two slices of sourdough bread and spread a generous tablespoon of garlic butter on one side of each slice. Place the buttered side down on a clean surface. Layer half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top of each slice of bread.

      Complete the Sandwiches: Place the remaining two slices of sourdough bread on top of the cheese layers, buttered side up. Press down gently to secure the sandwiches together.

        Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwiches into the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy.

          Flip and Finish Grilling: Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula and grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes, until cheese melts and both sides are golden and crunchy. You may cover the skillet with a lid for a couple of minutes to help the cheese melt faster.

            Slice and Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them sit for a minute before slicing them diagonally. Serve hot with a side of marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce!
