Start by washing the tomato under cold running water, pat dry with a paper towel, and slice it into even thin rounds.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
Spread half a tablespoon of butter on one side of each bread slice. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the buttered sides.
Place a non-stick pan on medium heat and allow it to warm up slightly.
Position one slice of bread buttered-side down in the skillet.
Layer the cheese slices on the bread, followed by the tomato slices. Season the tomatoes with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Top with the other slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwich for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread turns golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwich from the pan and let it cool slightly on a cutting board.
Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve warm.
