Ingredients
2 slices of bread (sourdough, white, or whole wheat)
1 cup cooked meatloaf, sliced (about 1/4 inch thick)
2 slices cheese (cheddar, provolone, or Swiss)
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Layer meatloaf slices and cheese between the unbuttered sides of the bread.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich buttered-side down and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side.
Notes
Use sturdier bread to hold fillings better.
Experiment with cheese blends for enhanced flavor.
Leftover meatloaf should be cooled slightly for easier slicing.
For extra crispiness, use a cast-iron skillet.
Avoid overloading the sandwich to prevent filling leakage.
