Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sourdough bread slices
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Dijon mustard
- 2 slices Optional: Sliced tomato
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spread half the butter on one side of each bread slice. If desired, spread Dijon mustard on the other side of one slice for added flavor.
Place one slice of bread butter-side-down on a clean surface. Top it with the cheddar cheese slices and optional tomato slices, then cover with the second slice of bread butter-side-up.
Carefully place the assembled sandwich onto the preheated panini press or skillet.
If using a panini press, close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If using a skillet, cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula for even toasting.
Once the panini is golden and crisp, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 1 minute.
Slice the panini in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your warm, cheesy delight!
