Preheat the broiler in your oven on high. Place the oven rack about 4-6 inches from the broiler element.
Thinly slice the tomato into approximately 1/4-inch rounds and set aside.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread and place them on a baking sheet butter-side down.
Top each slice of bread with an even layer of tomato slices.
Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and dried oregano over the tomatoes to season them evenly.
Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the tomato slices, ensuring they are well covered.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, with golden brown edges.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the sandwiches cool for 1-2 minutes.
Slice each sandwich diagonally for easy serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
