Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the green bell pepper, onion, and tomato into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened. Add the chopped tomato, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place two slices of bread butter-side down on a clean surface. On each slice, layer 2 slices of cheddar cheese and half of the sautéed vegetable mixture. Top with the remaining slices of bread, butter-side up.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the same skillet, place the assembled sandwiches over medium heat. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwiches and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from skillet, cut in half, and serve hot.
