Ingredients
- 8 to 10 bread slices – whole wheat bread, brown bread or white bread
- 1 tomato medium to large, thinly sliced
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese or add as required
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano or add as required
- ½ teaspoon dried basil or add as required
- ½ teaspoon crushed black pepper or black pepper powder, add as required
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon red chili flakes or add as required, optional
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Butter (softened) or add as required
Instructions
- First rinse 1 medium to large tomato and wipe dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Slice and discard the top part of the tomato. Thinly slice the tomatoes. But do not cut into transparent thin slices.
- Spread butter on all the bread slices.
- Place 3 to 4 tomato slices on half of the buttered bread slices.
- Sprinkle a few pinches of herbs, black pepper or red chili flakes. You can also sprinkle some 1 to 2 pinches of salt if you like.
- Cover with remaining half of the bread slices.
- Heat a frying pan or skillet or tawa and brush some softened butter on it.
- Place the prepared cheese and tomato sandwich on the skillet and gently move it around so that is soaks up the butter.
- Place a plate or lid on the sandwich. On top of the plate place a heavy weight like mortar or a heavy bowl. Or you could just use a heavy plate or tray.
- When the bottom bread is grilled well, toasted evenly with a golden crust, then remove the lid and heavy weight. Brush some butter on top side.
- With a spatula turn over the sandwich. You will see the crisp and grilled side facing you.
- Place the lid and heavy weight again and grill till the bottom bread is golden.
- Remove and serve hot or warm.
- On a large skillet or tawa or frying pan, you can easily toast 2 to 3 sandwiches together.
