Tomato Grilled Cheese
Tomato Grilled Cheese is a simple upgrade to a classic sandwich with melty cheese and fresh tomato layered between crispy, buttery bread.
Servings: 2 sandwiches
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 slices good bread (sourdough is great!)
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
- 4 slices cheese (suggested: cheddar, pepper jack or havarti)
- 1 large Roma tomato, sliced thinly
Instructions
- Butter one side of each of the bread slices.
- Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add two bread slices, butter-side-down. Layer cheese, tomato and a second slice of cheese on the bread slices. Top with the other bread slice, butter-side-up.
- Cook until golden brown, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Slice each sandwich in half, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use thin tomato slices to avoid sogginess
- Cook over medium heat for best results
- Use good-quality bread like sourdough
- Layer cheese on both sides of tomato
- Serve immediately for best texture
