Slice the tomato into thin, even rounds, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and optional oregano to enhance flavor.
Lay out the sourdough bread slices on a clean surface. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on two of the slices.
Arrange the seasoned tomato slices on top of the cheese, then add another slice of cheddar cheese over the tomatoes.
Close the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread to form two complete sandwiches.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
Flip the sandwiches carefully, adding the remaining butter to the skillet if needed. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is crispy and golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice in half and serve warm.
