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.
