Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.

  • Add roasted red peppers, banana peppers, olives, and feta cheese.
  • Top with another one-third of the mozzarella and the second slice of bread.
  • Cook for 2–4 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
