Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices whole grain bread slices
- 4 ounces low sodium cheddar cheese
- 1 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Slice the tomatoes thinly, ensuring you have at least 4-6 slices.
Spread unsalted butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Place the buttered side of one slice down onto a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Layer 2 ounces of low sodium cheddar cheese on the bread in the pan.
Place tomato slices over the cheese, and sprinkle with dried oregano and freshly ground black pepper.
Add 2 basil leaves over the tomatoes for a fresh flavor pop.
Top with another 2 ounces of low sodium cheddar cheese to ensure the toastie sticks together nicely.
Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
Cook until the bottom bread slice is golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully flip the toastie, and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about another 4-5 minutes.
Remove from pan, let it cool for a minute, then cut in half and serve.
