Step 4: Spread garlic butter (or if you don’t have garlic butter, regular unsalted butter will work great) on one side of the sandwich and place that side down on the preheated griddle. Then butter the top so it will brown when you flip it over.

Step 5: Grill until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted (about 2-4 minutes per side).

Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping!
