Category: Sandwiches, Lunch
Yield: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
  • 1 large or 2 small green tomatoes
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 slices bread of your choice
  • 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 3 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, sliced or shredded
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 F. Slice tomatoes and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 hour, tossing once, until soft and tender. Remove and let cool.
  2. Spread 1½ tsp of mayo on each slice of bread. Place cheddar evenly on non-mayo side of one slice, then layer tomatoes on top. Place the other slice of bread on top of the cheese and tomatoes, mayo side facing out so it will make contact with the skillet.
  3. Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat. Place sandwich in the skillet and press down on the top piece of bread with a spatula. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the bottom of the sandwich is browned and crispy. Flip sandwich over and cook for another 3 minutes, until browned. Serve immediately.
