Top and press
Place the top piece of bread over the layered ingredients. If desired, press down gently to compact the sandwich before toasting or serving.
For the Dressing / Finish
- 5
Make the dressing
In a small bowl or jar combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon capers (if using), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk or shake until emulsified.

Dress the sandwich
Drizzle half of the dressing over the tomato/onion/lettuce layer. Reserve the rest to serve on the side or for another sandwich.

Optional toast
If you prefer a warm toasted sandwich: heat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly butter the outside faces of the sandwich (about 1 tablespoon total). Place sandwich in the skillet and toast 3–4 minutes per side, pressing with a spatula, until bread is golden and cheese has softened.

Slice and serve
Remove sandwich from skillet (if toasted) and let rest 1 minute. Slice in half and serve immediately with any reserved dressing on the side.
