Description

I came up with this mozzarella grilled cheese recipe for my niece.
I combined grilled cheese sandwiches with garlic bread.
It's tasty, quick, and the perfect appetizer for friends, family, and unexpected guests.
Use a firm white bread for best results.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder (Optional)
• 12 slices white bread
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 (24 ounce) jar vodka marinara sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven broiler.


2. Place 6 slices of bread onto a baking sheet.
   Spread a small handful of mozzarella cheese over each slice.
   Top with remaining 6 slices of bread.


3. Mix together butter and garlic powder in a small bowl;
   brush some garlic butter over tops of sandwiches or spread with the back of a spoon.
   Sprinkle with dried oregano.


4. Place sandwiches under the broiler until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven, flip sandwiches,
   brush tops with garlic butter, and sprinkle with oregano. Return to the broiler; cook until tops are golden brown, about 2 minutes.


5. Cut sandwiches in half diagonally; serve immediately with vodka sauce on the side for dipping.
