Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter room temp
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 thick slices of French bread
  • 4 oz of shredded cheese American or mild cheddar

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine butter and seasoning. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  • With the bread facing buttered side up, evenly spread cheese slices onto half your bread slices. Close with an empty piece of bread.
  • Spread butter on the outside of the sandwich.
  • Gently place the sandwich into a skillet and cook over low-medium heat. Flip the sandwich once the bottom is golden-brown.
  • Once both sides are lightly toasted and the cheese melts, remove from the heat and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cooking: If the bread is toasting faster than the cheese is melting, turn down the heat and cover with a lid for a few minutes. 
  • Air-fry: Place the sandwich in the basket of your air fryer and set it to 350°F for 6-8 minutes. 
  • Storage: Serve this sandwich immediately for best results, but you can also store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
