Instructions

Prepare the filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the grated cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, finely chopped onions, black pepper powder, and dried oregano. Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly, ensuring that the cheese and onions are evenly distributed. Set the mixture aside for later use.
-
Assemble the sandwiches: Take a slice of whole wheat bread and generously spread the filling mixture over it. Place another slice of bread on top and press gently to secure the sandwich. Repeat this process for the remaining slices of bread and filling, making four sandwiches in total.
-
Grill the sandwiches: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and is hot, place the first sandwich into the skillet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip the sandwich over and cook the other side until it also turns golden brown. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Grill the remaining sandwiches: Continue grilling the other three sandwiches, adding more butter to the skillet as needed to ensure the bread becomes crispy and golden.
-
Serve: Once all sandwiches are grilled, remove them from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Serve immediately, and for an extra touch, you can pair these sandwiches with a fruit smoothie for a wholesome snack or light meal.
