Ingredients

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Unsalted butter

4 tablespoons

Cheddar cheese

8 slices

Bread

4 slices

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Tomatoes

2 medium, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Once done, set aside.
4. Meanwhile, heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
5. Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
6. Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on the heated skillet. Top each slice with two slices of cheddar cheese.
7. Evenly distribute the roasted tomatoes on top of the cheese. Add another layer of cheddar cheese on top of the tomatoes.
8. Cover each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
9. Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
10. Remove from the heat and let the sandwiches cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the cheese to reach the perfect consistency.
11. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm. Enjoy this gourmet twist on a classic comfort food!
