Grilled Cheese and Tomato Sandwich
Sometimes, making a simple sandwich means getting back to basics. Take a Grilled Cheese and Tomato Sandwich, for example, with juicy tomatoes nestled in the center. Grilled to a perfect crunch and oozing with creamy, melted cheese, it’s a classic that never gets old. Mmmm! Grilled cheese, it’s a classic that never gets old.
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches…
When it comes to whipping up something for lunch or an easy dinner, a grilled cheese sandwich comes to our minds.
It is fast and easy and perfect to make any time hunger strikes.
For our grilled cheese, we added a slice or two of tomatoes; it gives it a nice twist, and the flavor is delicious!
My family absolutely loved this sandwich! It is fantastic to make it after school and add a variety of healthy after-school snacks and ideas when they get home.
Hey, it’s better than running to the pantry looking for junk food – which I try to not keep too much anyway.
To Make a Grilled Cheese Sandwich…
To make a grilled cheese sandwich, you will need 2 slices of bread, a couple of slices of cheese, and slices of tomato. One non-stick skillet and some butter.
How to Make Grilled Cheese & Tomato Sandwich?
There are 4 easy steps to making our grilled cheese:
- Place 2 slices of bread on your workspace, or cutting board. And add a thin slice of butter to each.
- Top it with a slice of cheddar cheese.
- Add a slice of tomato on each side.
- Close the sandwich, place onto a hot skillet, and grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove and serve.
Simple, easy, and delicious!
NOTES & TIPS…
- Try making this sandwich with your favorite cheeses, Swiss Cheese, Monterey Jack, Fontina, or even Polly O or Fresh Mozzarella.
- Also, I like using Calphalon skillets, they are fantastic for grilling, easy cleaning and last a long time.
- It is a perfect and simple sandwich anytime when you need one. For a healthier twist, use whole wheat or whole grain bread.
