Instructions

  1. Let the garlic herb butter come to room temperature. Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes.
  2. Spread the softened garlic herb butter on one side of each sourdough slice. Place two slices buttered side up on a clean work surface. Evenly top with crumbled feta, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and shredded mozzarella. Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side down.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches (work in batches if necessary) and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted slightly, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Remove from the pan, cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

For extra flavor, use a mix of fresh herbs in the garlic herb butter, such as parsley, basil or oregano.

If you prefer a crispier crust, cook the sandwich over medium-low heat for a few extra minutes per side.

Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil add more moisture; pat them dry before chopping to avoid sogginess.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of bread?

Yes, any sturdy bread like ciabatta or whole wheat works well. Sourdough is recommended for its tangy flavor and crisp texture.

Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?

Grilled cheese is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can prep the ingredients (chop tomatoes, crumble feta) in advance and assemble just before cooking.

What can I serve with this grilled cheese?

Tomato soup, a simple green salad or roasted vegetables make excellent sides.
