Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix butter with garlic powder in a small bowl until evenly combined.

  2. Step 2

    Spread half the garlic butter on one side of each bread slice.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a skillet over medium. Place one slice butter-side down, top with mozzarella, then the second slice butter-side up.

  4. Step 4

    Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden and cheese is fully melted, 2–3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer to a plate and serve hot. Repeat with remaining ingredients for a second sandwich.
