Ingredients

  • 6 slices stale bread, (We use sour dough or Hawaiian.)
  • 6 slices cheddar or pepper jack cheese
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • garlic powder & dried parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit.
  • Lightly brush one side of each slice of bread with olive oil, place on a baking sheet and "toast" in preheated oven.
  • Place 2 cheese slices on 3 of the toasted breads. Top with the remaining slices of bread, placing the TOASTED SIDE DOWN on the cheese. You should have 3 sandwiches, each with toasted sides on the INSIDES of the sandwiches and the non-toasted sides facing outward.
  • Brush the tops of the sandwiches with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder and dried parsley. Place back in the oven to brown the tops.
  • When tops are browned, remove from oven. Flip over. Brush bottoms with olive oil and sprinkle with more garlic powder and parsley. Return to oven to brown.
  • When browned, remove from oven. Use a sharp bread knife to cut each sandwich into cubes. Serve over soups and salads!
