Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices gluten-free sandwich bread
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 medium ripe tomato
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2 leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Begin by prepping the tomato. Wash the medium ripe tomato thoroughly under cold running water. Slice the tomato into thin even slices, discarding the core and stem.
Spread the mayonnaise evenly on one side of each gluten-free sandwich bread slice.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the mayonnaise layer on one of the bread slices.
Layer the tomato slices on top of the cheese slice and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Place the fresh basil leaves over the tomato for added flavor and aroma.
Top with the second slice of cheddar cheese, followed by the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, to form the sandwich.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter and allow it to melt, spreading it evenly across the skillet surface.
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Cut the sandwich in half and serve warm. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Classic Cheese and Tomato Sandwich!
