Ingredients
  

4 slices of artisan sourdough bread

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to a spreadable consistency

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for a kick)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional for a zesty flavor)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional but recommended)

Instructions
 

Prep the Bread: Begin by spreading a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This buttering technique will ensure your sandwich develops a beautifully crisp and golden crust while grilling.

    Mix Cheeses: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until well blended. For an extra layer of flavor, stir in the garlic powder, dried oregano, and if you like some heat, the crushed red pepper flakes.

      Assemble the Sandwich: Take two slices of bread, placing them buttered side down on a clean surface. Pile half of the cheese mixture on one slice. If you're feeling adventurous, spread the Dijon mustard on the unbuttered side of the second slice before topping it on the cheese, buttered side facing up.

        Grill the Sandwich: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the assembled sandwich on the skillet. Grill for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom slice turns a luscious golden brown.

          Flip and Cook: Using a spatula, gently flip the sandwich to grill the other side. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, applying light pressure with the spatula to ensure thorough grilling, until the cheese is gooey and the bread is perfectly golden brown.

            Garnish and Serve: When your sandwich is ready, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a moment. Cut the sandwich diagonally into halves or quarters for easy eating, and if desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a fragrant, flavorful touch.
