Ingredients
2 slices sourdough bread
2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
1 slice mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
1. Select slices of sourdough or similar sturdy bread.
2. Spread mayonnaise on the outer sides of both slices and sprinkle garlic powder on top.
3. Layer the sharp cheddar and mozzarella slices between the bread.
4. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low and place the sandwich in the pan.
5. Press slightly with a spatula and cook slowly until the bottom is golden brown.
6. Flip and cook the second side until the cheese is fully melted and the exterior is crisp.

Notes
Let the cheese come to room temperature for better melting.
Use a lid on your skillet to help the cheese melt evenly.
Avoid high heat to prevent burning the bread before the cheese melts.
