A delicious twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, featuring a creamy spread and fresh tomatoes.
Spread a thin layer of creamy mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.
Ensure the mayonnaise is evenly spread to achieve a consistent flavor.
Place a slice of American cheese on the mayonnaise side of two bread slices.
For extra cheesiness, you can add an additional half slice of cheese.
Add slices of ripe tomato on top of the cheese.
Pat the tomato slices dry with a paper towel to prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
Top with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side facing in.
Press the sandwich gently to ensure it holds together.
Butter the outside of each sandwich generously.
Softened butter spreads more easily and evenly.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwiches in the skillet.
Preheat the skillet to ensure an even golden crust.
Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until the cheese is melted.
Use a spatula to press the sandwich slightly for even cooking.
Remove from the skillet, slice diagonally, and serve warm.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
