Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 7 oz thick-cut bread about 4 slices
  • 3.5 tbsp unsalted butter, softened room temperature
  • 1.25 tsp fresh garlic, minced about 2 cloves
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1 cup low-moisture mozzarella, shredded
  • 0.5 cup sharp cheddar, shredded
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise for the outer crust
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder for a deeper garlic note
  • 0.25 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.13 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.12 tsp red pepper flakes optional, for heat

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Stir together softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until creamy.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the outside of each bread slice.
  • Flip the slices and smear the garlic-butter mixture on the inside faces.
  • Pile mozzarella and cheddar on two slices. Top with remaining slices, mayo side facing out.
  • Warm a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Set sandwiches in the skillet and cook until deep golden, 3–4 minutes per side. Cover briefly to melt cheese if needed.

Notes

Switch it up: swap cheddar for provolone, add a tomato slice, or sprinkle extra Parmesan on the outside for a frico-like crust. Serve with warm marinara for dipping, or pair with tomato soup. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet or air fryer to restore crisp edges.
