Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick sourdough bread

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

2 cloves garlic, minced

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

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions
 

Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until fully blended.

    Assemble the Sandwiches:

      - Spread a generous amount of the garlic butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

        - On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly. If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

          - Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out.

            Cook the Sandwiches:

              - Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwiches in the skillet.

                - Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Flip the sandwiches carefully with a spatula.

                  Finish Grilling:

                    - After flipping, cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with the spatula to ensure even grilling.

                      - Once both sides are crispy and the cheese is melted, remove from the skillet.

                        Serve and Enjoy: Allow the sandwiches to cool for a minute, then slice them in half. Serve warm, perhaps with a side of marinara sauce or a fresh salad for dipping.
