# Steps to follow:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

04 - In a small bowl, combine ranch dressing with chopped chives and dill if using.
05 - Lay out bread slices and spread ranch mixture on one side of each. On four slices, layer half the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, top with buffalo cauliflower, then the remaining cheese. Cover with remaining bread slices, ranch side down.
06 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread softened butter on the outer sides of each sandwich.
07 - Grill sandwiches 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden and cheese has melted.
08 - Allow sandwiches to cool for 1 minute, slice, and serve warm.
