For a richer flavor, try using roasted garlic butter instead of regular garlic butter.
Fresh mozzarella can be substituted for provolone for a different flavor profile.
A sprinkle of red pepper flakes in the marinara sauce adds a touch of heat.
If you don't have a microwave, the marinara can be warmed gently in a small saucepan on the stovetop.
Consider adding a few fresh basil leaves to the sandwich before grilling for extra flavor.
Use a panini press for evenly toasted sandwiches.
For extra crispy bread, brush the outside of the sandwich with a little olive oil before grilling.
