Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Rye bread
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 pinch Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread half the unsalted butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. This will create a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
Layer one slice of Swiss cheese on top of the bread in the skillet.
Lay the tomato slices evenly over the Swiss cheese, sprinkling a pinch of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using) over the tomatoes.
Top the tomatoes with the second slice of Swiss cheese.
Place the second slice of rye bread on top, buttered side facing up.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
Flip the sandwich carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing in half and serving.
