Description
A buttery, grilled sandwich featuring fresh mozzarella cheese melted inside crispy, golden-brown white bread.
Ingredients
2 slices sliced white bread
2 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly.
Place one slice of bread butter-side-down onto the pan.
Layer fresh mozzarella cheese on top of the bread in the pan.
Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side-up.
Grill the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let sit for a minute before cutting the sandwich diagonally into two halves.
Serve the halves stacked slightly offset on a white ceramic plate.

FAQ
Can I prepare this sandwich ahead of time? It’s best enjoyed fresh off the grill to keep the bread crispy and the cheese melty.
How do I store leftovers? If you have any leftovers, wrap them tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Reheat gently to restore the gooey cheese texture.
