Instructions

Stir together the melted butter and olive oil in a small bowl. If the butter in unsalted, add a pinch of salt to the mixture. Brush one side of each slice of sourdough with the olive oil butter.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium. Place the sourdough slices, buttered-side down, into the skillet. While the bread is warming in the skillet, layer the pepper jack cheese on top of one of the bread slices, so there is very little overlap and most of the cheese is on top of the bread.
Place the tomatoes in a single layer across the top of the pepper jack.
Place the feta pieces evenly across the top of the tomato slices.
Sprinkle the feta with the za'atar spice blend.
Use a spatula to scoop up the empty slice of bread from the skillet. Place it on top of the sandwich filling, buttered and browned side facing upward. Grill till the bottom of the sandwich is nicely browned and golden.
Flip the sandwich carefully. Let it continue to grill till browned to your liking. Serve warm straight from the skillet. Alternatively, you can grill this sandwich with a panini press.
