Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bread slices
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder and dried oregano over the buttered sides.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto the hot skillet.
Evenly distribute the cheddar cheese on top of the bread slices in the skillet.
If desired, sprinkle chili flakes over the cheese for extra spice.
Place the remaining two bread slices on top, buttered side up, to create sandwiches.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing lightly with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is golden and crisp.
Remove from the skillet and let the sandwiches cool slightly on a cutting board.
Cut the sandwiches into halves or quarters, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
