  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Sprinkle with garlic powder if using, and add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices.
  • Mix softened butter with a pinch of garlic powder (if using) and spread on the outside of each sandwich.

  • Place sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  • Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and both sides are crispy.
