Ingredients

Scale

2 slices sourdough bread
4 oz (115g) feta cheese, crumbled
2 oz (55g) mozzarella cheese, sliced
1/2 cup (75g) chopped diced tomatoes
6 Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
Pinch of salt (optional)

Sprinkle fresh oregano over the filling
Top with second bread slice (butter side down)
Drizzle remaining 1/2 tsp olive oil on top
Cook 5-6 minutes until golden, flip carefully, and cook another 4-5 minutes

Use halal dairy cheese to maintain dietary preferences
Kalamata olives add rich brininess; substitute with other olives if needed
For extra flavor, use fresh basil instead of oregano
Serve immediately for best texture
