Assemble the first two sandwiches: Place two slices of sourdough bread on a clean surface. On one slice, layer 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella, followed by 1/2 cup of the warmed sloppy joe mixture. Top the sloppy joe with two slices of the marinated fresh mozzarella, then another 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella. Place the second slice of sourdough bread on top.

Carefully place the assembled sandwiches into the preheated skillet. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the sourdough bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheeses are thoroughly melted and gooey. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning while ensuring the cheese melts.

Remove the cooked sandwiches from the skillet and set aside on a cutting board. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of marinating oil to the skillet, then repeat the assembly and cooking process for the remaining two sandwiches.
