Ingredients
  

  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 10 slices Italian bread (1/2 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in the mozzarella, cheddar, garlic powder, and seasoned salt until well combined.
  • Spread about 1/3 cup of the cheese mixture onto 5 slices of bread evenly.
  • Top each with another slice of bread to form sandwiches.
  • Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich slice.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy!
