Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Finely slice the onion and tomato. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of olive tapenade on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On two slices, layer the dill havarti cheese, followed by the sliced onion and tomato. Top with the remaining slices of bread, tapenade side down.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Add more butter to the skillet if necessary.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, then cut in half and serve warm.
