For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin spread of mayonnaise or a drizzle of olive oil to the unbuttered side of the bread before grilling. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even a sharp cheddar would be delicious alternatives to provolone. If you don't have leftover pico de gallo, you can easily make a fresh batch. Just ensure the tomatoes are ripe and the ingredients are finely diced for the best texture. Serve immediately for the ultimate cheesy, flavorful experience! Enjoy!

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, gently combine the diced tomato, diced white onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well and set aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepEvenly spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Arrange the bread slices on a clean work surface with the buttered-side down. Place one slice of provolone cheese on each of the ten bread slices. Spoon the prepared pico de gallo evenly onto five of the bread-cheese slices, creating a generous layer. Top each pico de gallo-laden slice with one of the remaining bread-cheese slices, ensuring the buttered side is facing up. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03
StepHeat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwiches in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Grill each sandwich until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and gooey, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side. Use a spatula to gently press down on the sandwiches to ensure even cooking and maximum melting. (Cook time: 6-8 minutes, total)
