Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bread slices
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Tomato
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Dried oregano
Instructions
Slice the medium tomato into thin, even pieces and sprinkle with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each bread slice.
Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and let it warm up for about 1 minute.
Place one bread slice on the skillet, butter side down. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top.
Layer the prepared tomato slices evenly over the cheese, ensuring they cover the bread slice thoroughly.
Place another slice of cheddar cheese on top of the tomato layer and cover it with the second bread slice, butter side up.
Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom slice is golden brown and toasted. Press it gently with a spatula to allow the cheese to melt evenly.
Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing it in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Grilled Tomato Cheese sandwich!
