Servings 1 sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread I recommend sourdough
- 1 tbsp salted butter divided
- ΒΌ cup grape or cherry tomatoes thinly sliced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 4 oz mild white cheddar cheese thinly sliced
Instructions
PREP INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Spread one side of one bread slice with half the butter. Repeat with remaining slice and remaining butter. Set aside.
- Thinly slice the tomatoes. Set aside.
- Thinly slice the cheese. Set aside.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
- Take one slice of buttered bread and turn the buttered side down onto your work surface.
- Place about half the cheese slices in a single layer across the surface of the bread. Cover as much of the bread as possible.
- Spread the sliced tomatoes over the cheese slices. Sprinkle the dried oregano over the tomatoes and cheese.
- Place the remaining cheese slices in a single layer over the tomatoes.
- Keeping the buttered side facing up, press the remaining slice of bread on top of the cheese layer.
- Place the pizza grilled cheese sandwich, buttered-side-down, into the hot skillet. Place a lid over the skillet and let cook for 4-5 minutes, until cheese is starting to melt and bottom crust is golden brown. While it cooks, remove the lid every now and then to press down on the sandwich with a spatula. This will help the sandwich stick together when you flip it.
- Use a spatula to quickly flip the grilled cheese over so the other buttered side is now in the skillet. Let cook without the lid for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom crust is golden brown and cheese is completely melted.
- Remove skillet from heat and transfer the Pizza Grilled Cheese to a cutting board. Let sandwich cool a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot.
