Ingredients

Method

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
  2. Stir in finely chopped fresh herbs, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  3. Let the herb butter cool slightly, then spread it generously on one side of each bread slice.
  4. Place a slice of cheese on the non-buttered side of one bread slice.
  5. Close the sandwich with the second bread slice, butter-side up.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  7. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
  8. Enjoy the rich, herbed flavor and perfectly toasted bread.
