Ingredients

2 frozen breaded mozzarella sticks
2 slices sourdough bread
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 tablespoons marinara sauce, plus extra for dipping

Instructions

Cook mozzarella sticks according to package directions (typically bake at 425°F for 8-10 minutes or air fry at 400°F for 6-8 minutes) until golden and crispy.
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Spread 1 tablespoon marinara on the bread.
Arrange the cooked mozzarella sticks side by side on the bread, then top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more.
Remove from skillet, let cool for 1 minute, then slice in half. Serve with extra marinara for dipping.

Tips

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the butter.
If using fresh mozzarella sticks (not frozen), reduce cooking time and watch closely to prevent burning.
Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
