Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 slices tomato
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Spread the mayonnaise evenly on one side of each sourdough bread slice. This will be the exterior side that crisps up in the pan.
Step 2
Layer one slice of bread (mayonnaise side down) with cheddar cheese, followed by the tomato slices. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomatoes for flavor.
Step 3
Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side up, to form the sandwich.
Step 4
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt, evenly coating the bottom of the skillet.
Step 5
Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, or until the bread is golden and crisp, and the cheese is starting to melt.
Step 6
Flip the sandwich gently using a spatula. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, pressing slightly with the spatula to help the cheese melt and the bread brown evenly.
Step 7
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute. Slice it in half and serve immediately while hot and gooey.
