Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 medium ripe tomato
- 1 cup, shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread a thin layer of butter evenly over one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Place the buttered slices on the prepared baking sheet, buttered side down.
Thinly slice the tomatoes and lay them in a single layer over the top of the bread slices.
In a small bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture generously over the tomato slices, ensuring even coverage.
Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
Turn on the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes to lightly brown the cheese for a crispy finish (optional but recommended).
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
