Caprese Grilled Cheese Recipe

1. 1

   Heat one teaspoon butter and one teaspoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until foaming subsides. Add both bread slices and cook, swirling occasionally, until pale golden brown on bottom side, about 2 minutes.

2. 2

   Transfer to a cutting board toasted-side-up. Place half of cheese on top of one slice of bread. Top with tomato, basil, and remaining cheese. Close sandwich, with both toasted sides facing inwards.

3. 3

   Heat one more teaspoon each of butter and oil in the skillet and reduce heat to medium low. Add sandwich and cook, swirling occasionally, until deep, even golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove sandwich using a flexible metal spatula. Add the remaining butter and oil. Return sandwich to skillet cooked-side up. Season with salt. Cook, swirling occasionally, until second side is deep, even golden brown and cheese is thoroughly melted, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
