GRILLED TOMATO AND CHEESE



Grilled Tomato and Cheese image

Butter does more for a grilled cheese than just browning the bread. Using cultured butter, one made with fermented cream, can add depth and a touch of sweet and tangy richness, thereby elevating the sandwich to new heights.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large or 2 medium heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes
Kosher salt
Eight 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick slices Pullman bread
12 slices sharp Cheddar or American cheese
6 tablespoons cultured butter, softened

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the tomatoes and lay them on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and let sit to release any water, about 15 minutes. Pat dry.
  • Lay out 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Layer each with 2 slices of cheese, making sure that they cover to the edges. Follow with 2 slices of tomato and then 1 more slice of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread. Thinly and evenly spread the butter on both sides of the bread using about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter for each sandwich.
  • Place 2 sandwiches into a nonstick medium skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the bread is evenly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip, cover again and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is visibly melted, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

Tips:

  • Spread a thin layer of butter or olive oil on the bread before grilling. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Don't overload your flatbreads with toppings. Too many toppings will make them difficult to flip and cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of toppings to create different flavor combinations. Some popular options include cheese, tomatoes, basil, pesto, and grilled vegetables.
  • Be careful not to overcook your flatbreads. They should be cooked until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
