This Roasted Tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwich with gooey melted cheese, summer roasted tomatoes, fresh basil, and crispy buttery bread slices is a great choice for breakfast or lunch whenever you want something quick, satisfying, and delicious. Summer roasted tomatoes are flavorful and are a great choice for filling these sandwiches and creating unique and impressive sandwiches.
Roasting the tomatoes gets the best out of them, as the tomato flavor is enhanced and makes a great way to enjoy their sweet, rich, summery flavor.
You can always create your grilled cheese sandwich with different fillings or simple, with nothing else but cheese, what remains the same is the way of preparing them. Use a generous amount of softened butter spread directly on the bread not on the pan, grated cheese like cheddar cheese, or mozzarella that melts and makes gooey grilled sandwiches and use a hot nonstick pan to cook on both sides until sides are crispy, golden brown and cheese melted.
How to make roasted tomato grilled cheese sandwiches
Begin by preparing the roasted tomatoes. For this, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, toss together the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread the tomatoes onto a baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the tomatoes are beautifully roasted.
How to assemble the sandwiches
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place a slice of bread butter-side down on a plate.
Layer cheddar cheese, roasted tomatoes, and basil leaves on top of the bread slice. Cover with the other slice of bread, butter-side up.
Place the assembled sandwich in the pan and cook until the bottom is golden brown, for approximately 3 minutes.
Using a spatula, carefully flip the sandwich, press down gently, and cook until the other side is crispy, golden brown, and the cheese is melted.
Serve the sandwiches immediately while they’re hot and delicious.
