World Cuisine Recipe ⇾ Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

I came up with this recipe for my niece. I combined grilled cheese sandwiches with garlic bread. Its tasty, its quick and its the perfect appetizer for friends, family and unexpected guests. Use a firm white bread for best results.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• ⅓ 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

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat your oven's broiler.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Cut sandwiches in half diagonally, and serve immediately with vodka sauce on the side for dipping.
