Grilled Cheese and Tomato Sliders

Source of Recipe

From "The Newlywed Cookbook" by Sarah Copeland


Recipe Introduction

"This is no ordinary grilled cheese. This is pure crispy, cheesy, oozy goodness."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 2 small vine-ripened or plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
â—¦ Sea salt
â—¦ 8 fresh dinner rolls or fresh potato rolls, split
â—¦ 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
â—¦ 2 to 3 tablespoons Dijon or brown mustard
â—¦ Four slices sharp Cheddar cheese (about ½ ounce each)
â—¦ Four slices Muenster cheese (about ½ ounce each)
â—¦ Freshly ground black pepper


Recipe

Arrange the tomato slices on paper towels and salt lightly to extract some of the juices. Press with another layer of paper towels.

Slather the outside crusts of both halves of the rolls with soft butter. Spread the mustard on the cut side of the bottom halves of the rolls. Top the mustard with a half a slice Muenster and a half a slice of Cheddar, followed by a tomato slice. Top with the remaining roll halves.

Heat a griddle or nonstick frying pan on medium heat. Add the sliders and press down lightly with a sandwich press or another clean frying pan. Cook until the cheese begins to melt and the bun is crisp and golden on the bottom. Flip and repeat until the second side is crispy and the cheese is melted and oozy. Sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the top. Serve hot and fast with extra napkins.
