A delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese, featuring tangy olives and a hint of garlic.
Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy spreading.
Place the buttered side down on a cutting board and layer two slices with cheddar cheese.
Use a generous amount of cheese for a gooey texture.
Sprinkle the sliced green olives and garlic powder evenly over the cheese.
Distribute the olives evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
Press gently to ensure the sandwich holds together.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwiches until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Cook slowly to allow the cheese to melt without burning the bread.
Slice the sandwiches diagonally and serve warm.
Diagonal slices make for an appealing presentation.
