Ingredients:
Ingredient | Quantity |
Sturdy whole wheat or multigrain bread | 4 slices |
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese | 1 ½ cups |
Medium tomato, thinly sliced | 1 |
Worcestershire sauce | 1–2 teaspoons |
Butter, softened (or mayonnaise) | 2 tablespoons |
Freshly ground black pepper (optional) | As desired |
Smoked cheddar (optional) | For added depth |
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare Your Ingredients:
- Choose a sturdy whole wheat or multigrain bread. Avoid thin sandwich bread, which can become soggy.
- Grate the 1 ½ cups of sharp cheddar cheese yourself from a block. For an extra twist, you can mix in some smoked cheddar for a deeper, more complex flavor.
- Slice the 1 medium tomato thinly. Pat the slices lightly with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Lay out two slices of bread. Evenly divide half of the shredded cheese between the two slices.
- Arrange a few tomato slices on top of the cheese.
- Drizzle a small amount of Worcestershire sauce over the tomatoes. (Alternatively, you can spread a thin layer on the inside of the bread.) Add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper if you’d like.
- Top with the remaining cheese and place the second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
- Grill the Sandwich:
- Serve and Enjoy:
