Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 4 slices Sourdough Bread Provides a crispy, hearty base; using crusty artisan or ciabatta will intensify the flavor.
For the Cheeses
  • 4 oz Mozzarella Cheese Adds creaminess and mild flavor; substitute with provolone for a delightful twist.
  • 2 oz Feta Cheese Offers tanginess and depth; goat cheese can be swapped for a similar taste profile.
For the Fillings
  • 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes Introduce a rich, sweet flavor; roasted red peppers work remarkably well as an alternative.
  • 1 cup Fresh Basil Enhances the flavor with aromatic notes; if unavailable, use Italian parsley for a fresh touch.
For Grilling
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil Used for grilling, adding a lovely richness; butter can be a delicious substitute for extra flavor.

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by slicing your crusty sourdough bread into thick, even pieces, about ¾ inch each.
  2. Gather the rest of your ingredients: slice the mozzarella and crumble the feta cheese, and have your sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil ready.
  3. Layer your prepared fillings between two slices of sourdough bread, starting with mozzarella, crumbled feta, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil.
  4. Top it off with another slice of mozzarella before bringing the two slices together.
  5. Drizzle olive oil into a non-stick skillet and heat over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until it shimmers.
  6. Carefully place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
  7. Flip the sandwich and press down slightly, cooking the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden.
  8. Once both sides are perfectly toasted, remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it rest for a minute, then cut in half to serve.

For best results, pre-grill the sourdough slices and avoid overstuffing the sandwich to maintain texture and ensure a perfect melt.
