Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 slices white bread
  • 4 slices american cheese, preferably white
  • 1-2 slices tomato, depending on size
Directions
  1. In a small pan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter. Brush evenly on the exterior of each slice of bread. Bring the cheese to room temperature, or better yet, par-melt 2 slices of cheese in the microwave for 10-15 seconds on a piece of plastic wrap and then turn over onto the non-buttered side of the bread. Repeat.
  2. Get a pan set up over medium-high heat. Depending on the size of your tomato use 1 or 2 slices. Just make sure there’s even tomato distribution in each bite. Combine the halves.
  3. Add the remaining butter to the pan and make sure the bottom is coated evenly. Put the sandwich in the pan and cover. Cook until the surface of the bread is golden, dark, and creates a crisp, solid exterior that won’t bend, about 1 minute. Flip, cover, leave for 1 minute and retrieve. Let sit for 20 seconds, slice. Eat.
