Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sourdough bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and garlic powder. Mix well to create an even cheese blend.
Lay out the sourdough bread slices on a flat surface. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of softened butter evenly on one side of each slice.
Place two slices of the bread butter-side down on a clean cutting board or plate. Distribute the cheese mixture evenly between the two slices, spreading it to cover the surface. Add two fresh basil leaves on top of the cheese for each sandwich.
Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up, to form two complete sandwiches.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Once warm, carefully place the sandwiches onto the skillet.
Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula for even browning. When the bottom is golden brown and crisp, flip the sandwiches.
Cook the second side for another 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm.
