Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bread slices
- 2 medium-sized Tomatoes
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Finely mince the garlic and mix it with the softened butter to create a garlic butter spread.
Step 2
Slice the tomatoes into thin, even rounds and sprinkle them lightly with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Spread a thin layer of garlic butter on one side of each bread slice.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and drizzle a small amount of olive oil to coat the pan.
Step 5
Place two bread slices, buttered side down, in the skillet. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each piece of bread, followed by an even layer of tomato slices and four basil leaves per sandwich.
Step 6
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of balsamic glaze over the tomatoes on each sandwich for added flavor.
Step 7
Top with another slice of cheddar cheese and cover with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
Step 8
Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them rest for a minute, then slice them in half and serve warm.
