Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Tomato: Wash and slice the tomato into thin rounds.
- Peppers: Wash and finely chop the serrano peppers. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds before chopping.
- Cheese: Slice or shred the cheddar cheese.
- Bread: Lay out the 8 slices of whole-wheat bread on a cutting board.
- Place 4 of the buttered slices (butter-side down) on a clean surface or plate.
- Evenly distribute the cheddar cheese on top of these 4 slices.
- Layer the tomato slices over the cheese.
- Sprinkle the chopped serrano peppers over the tomatoes.
- Season with a dash of black pepper, salt, and dried basil.
- Top each sandwich with the remaining 4 slices of bread (butter-side up).
- Place the assembled sandwiches in the preheated skillet.
- Grill for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor, especially when it comes to the cheddar cheese and tomatoes.
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy spreading on the bread slices.
- For a spicier sandwich, you can add more serrano peppers or use a hotter variety of pepper.
- Grill the sandwiches on medium heat to allow the cheese to melt evenly without burning the bread.
- Press down gently on the sandwich with a spatula while grilling to ensure even cooking and a crispier texture.
