Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Butter Mixture
  • 2 tablespoons halal butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
  • 2 tablespoons halal Parmesan cheese grated
  • Pinch salt
For the Sandwich Assembly
  • 4 slices thick-cut bread (white, sourdough, or Italian)
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese (or provolone/cheddar mix)

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Small bowl
  • Wide spatula

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of softened halal butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons grated halal Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well blended.
  2. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of each of the 4 slices of bread.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place 2 slices of the prepared bread, buttered side down, into the skillet.
  4. Top each bread slice in the skillet with 2 slices of mozzarella cheese (or your cheese mix of choice).
  5. Cover with the remaining 2 slices of bread, this time with the buttered side facing up.
  6. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom turns golden and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwiches using a wide spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese has melted.
  7. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice into portions, and serve while warm.
