Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter evenly on one side of each almond flour bread slice.
In a small bowl, mix the Cheddar cheese and cream cheese until well combined.
Add garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture and mix well.
Place one slice of almond flour bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
Evenly spread the cheese mixture on the unbuttered side of the bread in the skillet.
Top with the second slice of almond flour bread, buttered side up.
Grill the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and grill for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the skillet, slice diagonally, and serve hot.
