Servings: 2 servings

1/2 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 slices sourdough bread
1 pinch salt
2 slices pepper jack cheese
4-5 slices ripe tomato
1 3/4 ounces feta cheese (preferably Israeli or Bulgarian sheep's milk feta), cut into thin slices
1/2 teaspoon za'atar spice blend

Start by gathering all your ingredients. Slice the tomatoes and feta cheese so they’re ready to go. This makes the assembly quick and easy when it’s time to grill.
In a non-stick skillet or griddle, heat the melted butter and olive oil over medium heat. This mixture will give your sandwich a golden, crispy crust.
Take one slice of sourdough bread and lay it on a clean surface. Start by sprinkling a pinch of salt on the bread. Layer on one slice of pepper jack cheese, followed by the tomato slices, and then the feta cheese. Sprinkle the za'atar spice blend over the feta for an extra flavor boost. Top it off with the second slice of pepper jack cheese and finish with the second slice of sourdough bread.
Carefully place the assembled sandwich in the heated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Flip the sandwich with your spatula, and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Once both sides are beautifully golden and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it rest for a minute before slicing in half. Serve it warm, and enjoy the melty goodness of your Feta Pepper Jack Grilled Cheese!
