Ingredients

  • 8 slices bread
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 2 tbsp. red onions, finely chopped
  • 4 slices tomatoes optional
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
  • 4 tbsp. room temperature butter, or as needed

Directions

  • Place 2 slices of cheese, overlapping, on 4 pieces of bread and top with onions (*see footnote); season with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Place bread slice on top of each and spread butter on top only, making sure to cover the entire surface.
  • Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with foil and transfer under the broiler; toast until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, flip them over and spread butter all the way to the edges.
  • Return the sandwiches in the oven and bake under the broiler for 2 minutes as well or until nicely toasted.

Notes

Footnote: If using tomato slices, place them on top of the onions before seasoning with freshly ground black pepper.
