Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Yes my tomato is almost bigger than my sandwich! Even though this is called a Grilled Cheese Sandwich, mine should be called Grilled Tomato with Cheese Sandwich! This is another one of those “garden tomato only” sandwiches. I only eat these when the garden tomatoes are at their peak which happens to be right now.
When I was a kid we always ate these sandwiches with tomato soup. Money was tight and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Tomato Soup was cheap and always hit the spot!
This recipe is one of those posts that you think everybody knows how to fix. Not so! We have new cooks and people from all over the world reading this blog. So this one is for them.
Ingredients
Lay the bread flat.
Butter one side of each piece of bread. Make sure you butter every spot.
Lay one piece of bread, butter side down, on a hot frying pan over medium low heat. Add cheese and place the other piece of bread on top, butter side up.
Cook until golden brown. Turn over and cook the other side golden brown.
Carefully pull bread slices apart.
Put enough tomato on one piece of bread to cover the entire piece.
Add Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise to the other piece of bread.
Put sandwich together and enjoy!

2 slices bread, your favorite kind
1-2 Tbl butter, softened
1 garden ripe tomato, sliced thick
