Ingredients
Instructions
- Let the garlic herb butter come to room temperature. Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Can I use a different type of bread?

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