Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 150 grams cheddar cheese
- 1 large tomato
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 4 leaves basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Start by slicing the cheddar cheese into thin slices. Aim for uniform slices that will melt evenly.
Step 2
Slice the tomato into thin rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
Step 3
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Butter one side of each slice of bread using 1 tablespoon of butter per sandwich to ensure even coverage and flavor.
Step 5
On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard.
Step 6
Layer the cheese slices evenly on top of the mustard.
Step 7
Arrange the tomato slices over the cheese, lightly sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Step 8
Add a couple of basil leaves on top of the tomato slices for a fresh, aromatic touch.
Step 9
Top with the remaining cheese slices, then place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side out.
Step 10
Add a teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet to prevent the sandwich from sticking and place the sandwiches into the skillet.
Step 11
Cook each side for about 3-5 minutes or until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Step 12
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly before cutting them in half and serving.
