Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven broiler.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 5

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