Grilled Cheese and Tomato Sandwiches

 This is one of my favorite kind of sandwiches when tomatoes are "on" in the summer.  We first tasted this combination years ago on a trip to Maui.  We went to "Cheeseburgers in Paradise" and several of us ordered their grilled cheese and tomato sandwich.  It tasted delicious and I have been trying to recreate it ever since.  This is what I've come up with:



Grilled Cheese and Tomato Sandwich

2 slices bread
Butter- has to be real, softened butter
1 slice American cheese
1 slice Swiss cheese
Butter the outsides of the bread.  Put a slice butter-side down in a hot fry pan.  Add the cheeses and put the other piece of bread butter-side up on top.  put on about medium heat.  Put a lid over the pan to help melt the cheeses.  Grill on each side until golden brown and cheeses are melted.  Open the sandwich and add a thick slice of homegrown tomato in the middle.  Put back together and cut in half.
