Grilled Swiss & Tomato on Rye
By: JanuaryBride
Aug 19, 2008
This was a frequently ordered sandwich, even though it was not on the menu, at the grill at Memorial Hospital in Belleville. When working night shift, my husband and I ate our fair share of these tasty sandwiches. I think the secret to this recipe is LOTS of salted butter on the bread prior to grilling!
SERVES 2 , 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 4 pieces rye bread (or pumpernickle)
- 4 slices swiss cheese
- 2 slices tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Directions
1
Preheat pan to med-high.2
Dip one side of one piece of bread in the butter and place it butter side down in pan.3
On top, add 1 slice of cheese, 1 tomato slice, then 1 more slice of cheese.4
Dip another slice of bread (one side only) in the butter and place on top of the sandwich with butter side up.5
Make the next sandwich the same way.6
Grill to your liking (we usually do 2-3 minutes on each side because we prefer them lightly toasted).

I too used to work in a hospital that had a grilled cheese/tomato sandwich that I loved. Of course, it was in TX and rye or pumpernickle was an unknown 
Everything on white. I rarely eat butter any more, but am so glad I made this as directed. Wonderful, crunchy, salty. I did use reduced fat swiss ant two slices of tomatoes per sandwich. Perfect sandwich.

I made just the one as an afternoon snack for the DM and myself, delicious. I also made it in the sandwich press and added a little pepper on the tomatoe slices. Thank you JanuaryBride, made for Edition 5 - Make My Recipe - a game of tag.
