After the sandwiches are assembled in the baking dish, melt 2 tablespoon butter in a microwave safe bowl, add ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning, and brush seasoned butter on top layer of bread.
Bake on 350°F, covered in foil for approximately 12 minutes.
Lastly, remove foil and bake sandwiches additionally for 5-10mins.
