Ingredients
2 slices sourdough or Italian bread
2 tablespoons softened butter
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 slices mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and Parmesan (if using).
2. Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on one side of each bread slice.
3. Place the cheese between two slices of bread, keeping the buttered sides facing out.
4. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
5. Grill the sandwich for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden and cheese is melted.
6. Remove from skillet and let rest for 1–2 minutes.
7. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
Always use softened butter for even spreading and better texture.
Cover the skillet with a lid for a steam effect that melts the cheese faster.
Let the sandwich rest before cutting to prevent cheese from spilling out.
