Ingredients

¼ cup unsalted butter
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
12 slices white bread
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (24 ounce) jar vodka marinara sauce

Steps:

Preheat your oven's broiler.
Place 6 slices of bread onto a baking sheet. Spread a small handful of the mozzarella cheese over each slice. Top with the remaining 6 slices of bread. Mix together the butter and garlic powder, brush some over the tops of the sandwiches, or spread with the back of a tablespoon. Sprinkle with dried oregano.
Place baking sheet under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown. Remove pan from oven, flip sandwiches, and brush the other sides with butter, and sprinkle with oregano. Return to the broiler, and cook until golden, about 2 minutes.
Cut sandwiches in half diagonally, and serve immediately with vodka sauce on the side for dipping.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

Eight 1/2-inch thick slices country-style sourdough bread
12 ounces Monterey jack, farmhouse cheddar, gruyere, or imported Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 slices smoked bacon, cooked and broken into 1-inch pieces
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced, and drained on paper towels for 5 minutes
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced, and drained on paper towels for 5 minutes
8 slices baked ham

Steps:

Place 4 slices of bread on a cutting board. Lay half the cheese slices on the bread. Lay the bacon, tomato, or ham on top of the cheese. Cover with the remaining cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread and press down slightly.
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and melt a tablespoon of the butter. Carefully place 2 of the sandwiches in the pan, and cook until the bread browns and the cheese is slightly melted, about 5 minutes. Turn the sandwiches with a spatula and add a small hazelnut-size piece of butter to the pan. Cook until the other side of the sandwiches is toasted and the cheese is melted, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Repeat with the other sandwiches. (If at any time the bread starts to brown too quickly, lower the heat to prevent the bread scorching before the cheese melts.) Serve.
