Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the tomato into 1/4-inch rounds and sprinkle with the 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Butter one side of each of the 4 bread slices with the 2 tbsp butter, using about 1/2 tbsp per slice.

  3. Step 3

    Place 2 slices of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Layer each with 2 oz cheddar cheese and a few tomato slices.

  4. Step 4

    Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes more. Serve hot.
