Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 clove Garlic
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese, sharp
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Finely mince the garlic and combine it in a small bowl with the softened butter. Mix well to create garlic butter.
Step 2
Thinly slice the tomato and lightly season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 3
Spread the garlic butter evenly on one side of each sourdough bread slice.
Step 4
Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil to coat the surface.
Step 5
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Add two slices of cheddar cheese to each slice of bread.
Step 6
Layer the tomato slices evenly on top of the cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.
Step 7
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula to achieve an even, golden crust and ensure the cheese melts.
Step 8
Once both sides are crispy and golden brown, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Allow to cool slightly before slicing in half.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, cheesy, garlicky goodness!
