Ingredients
  

8 slices of white or whole wheat bread

8 slices of cheddar cheese (or any cheese of your choice)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Bread: Using a cookie cutter, cut the bread into small shapes or squares (about 2 inches wide) to create mini slices. You should have about 16 pieces total.

      Butter the Bread: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, garlic powder, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Spread this mixture on one side of each bread piece.

        Assemble the Sandwiches: On the unbuttered side of half the bread pieces, place a slice of cheese. If using mustard, spread a small dab on top of the cheese. Top with another piece of bread, buttered side out, to create a mini sandwich.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the assembled mini grilled cheese sandwiches on the prepared baking sheet.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
