Za'atar Grilled Cheese with Pull-Apart Grooves

Ingredients:

• 2 slices white bread, crusts removed

• 1–2 tablespoons melted butter

• 1–2 teaspoons zaatar seasoning (plus more for topping)

• Mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced, to your liking

Instructions:

1. Prep the Bread:

   • Remove the crust from each slice of bread.

   • Using a knife, lightly score each slice into a tic-tac-toe grid — creating grooves without cutting all the way through.

2. Season:

   • In a small bowl, mix melted butter with za'atar seasoning.

   • Brush the groove side of both bread slices generously with the za'atar butter.

   • Sprinkle extra zaatar seasoning over the top for added flavor.

3. Assemble the Sandwich:

   • Place mozzarella cheese on the un-grooved side of one slice.

   • Top with the second slice, groove side facing up.

4. Bake:

   • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

   • Bake the sandwich for 5–6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden and crisp.

5. Serve:

   • Gently pull apart along the grooves for perfect little cheesy squares.

   • Serve hot.
