Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Ingredients

    Thinly slice the tomato and onion. If using bacon or ham, prepare it as desired (cooked or raw).

  2. 2

    Assembling the Sandwich

    Lay two slices of Zingerman’s Rustic Italian Bread on a clean surface. Layer the Swiss, Cheddar, and Fontina cheeses on one slice. Add the tomato slices, onion slices, and optional bacon or ham. Top with the second slice of bread.

  3. 3

    Grilling the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the top slice of the sandwich. Place the sandwich butter-side down in the skillet. Spread the remaining butter on the other side. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Flipping the Sandwich

    Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice it in half and serve warm.
