Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 clove Garlic
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese, sharp
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Finely mince the garlic and combine it in a small bowl with the softened butter. Mix well to create garlic butter.
Thinly slice the tomato and lightly season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Spread the garlic butter evenly on one side of each sourdough bread slice.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil to coat the surface.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Add two slices of cheddar cheese to each slice of bread.
Layer the tomato slices evenly on top of the cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula to achieve an even, golden crust and ensure the cheese melts.
Once both sides are crispy and golden brown, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Allow to cool slightly before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, cheesy, garlicky goodness!
