Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bread slices
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 1 medium-sized Tomato
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Butter one side of each bread slice using the unsalted butter.
Place the buttered side of two bread slices down on a clean plate or cutting board.
Layer each slice with 2 slices of cheddar cheese, followed by 2-3 tomato slices.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomato slices, and place 2 basil leaves on top of each sandwich filling.
Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing outwards.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula for even toasting.
Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, and then slice them in half before serving.
