Is there anything more comforting than a grilled cheese sandwich? Â I don’t think so. Â A friend dropped off a lot of vegetables that he picked from his garden. Â I had a ton of tomatoes that I needed to use before they would go bad. Â Lunch arrived. Â How about adding tomatoes to my grilled cheese. Â So many people have ketchup with their grilled cheese sandwiches. Â What is the base of ketchup? Â That’s right – tomatoes. Â So we know it will go together well.
Ingredients:
- 2 pieces of wheat bread
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup each shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese
- 3 slices of beefsteak tomato
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp canola oil
Directions:
Heat a skillet on medium heat. Â Put in 1 tbsp each butter and oil (you could use a little less of each if you prefer). Â While the pan is heating up, put the cheese on each half of the bread. Â Layer the cheddar, then the mozzarella and then the cheddar. Â When the butter has melted, put the bread in and cover the pan. Â It will take about 3 minutes for the cheese to melt and the bread to brown. Â Remove the bread from the pan and add the tomatoes.
Put the sandwich together and enjoy!
Why didn’t you make this while I was still home?
Got to do something to entice you to come home!
I absolutely LOVE putting a thick slice of tomato on my grilled cheese, soooo good.

A friend had dropped off the tomatoes and I had to find a good use for them. I wish you had told me that this was a good combination. I have seen it before but not sure I have made this before. This is a definite repeat.
This is a favorite of mine as well though I like your presentation better. LOL. I play around with different cheeses like Gouda, and yes, American (Not pasturized process junk…) and add carmelized onions. and thick cut bacon…I love what you do with simple food Peter!!!
I like the idea of playing with different ingredients to add in. Everyone loves bacon. I love gouda too. Love to use smoked gouda.
