- 1-2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bread:
- Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle the buttered side lightly with oregano or Italian seasoning.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Place a slice of mozzarella on the unbuttered side of one slice of bread. Add a layer of tomato slices, season lightly with salt and pepper, and then top with another slice of mozzarella. Cover with another slice of bread, buttered side out. Repeat for the second sandwich.
- Cook the Sandwich:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
