Start by spreading the butter evenly on one side of each slice of low-carb bread.
Slice the tomato thinly and place the slices on a paper towel to drain excess juice.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil to it.
Once the skillet is hot, place one slice of bread, butter-side down, onto the skillet.
Layer half of the grated cheddar cheese on the bread in the skillet.
Add the tomato slices evenly over the cheese, then sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and dried oregano on top.
Add the remaining cheddar cheese over the tomatoes.
Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
Cook the toastie for about 3-5 minutes or until the bottom slice is golden brown and crunchy.
Carefully flip the toastie with a spatula and cook the other side for another 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
