Instructions
-
Prep the Bread
Use hearty whole wheat bread that won’t fall apart. Spread a light layer of Worcestershire sauce on the inside of each slice. -
Layer the Sandwich
-
Place a layer of shredded sharp cheddar on one slice.
-
Add 1–2 tomato slices.
-
Sprinkle a tiny bit of black pepper (optional).
-
Top with more cheddar, then the second slice of bread.
-
-
Butter and Grill
-
Lightly butter the outside of both slices (or use mayo).
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
-
Cook the sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
-
-
Serve
Let it rest for a minute before slicing. Serve hot and gooey.
Pro Tips
-
Use block cheese: Pre-shredded melts poorly due to anti-caking agents.
-
Don’t overdo the tomato: A soggy sandwich is no one’s friend.
-
Worcestershire restraint: A little goes a long way — it should whisper, not shout.
-
Try smoked cheddar for an elevated flavor profile.
The Verdict
It’s nostalgic, crispy, cheesy — and that Worcestershire twist? It’s genius. Harrison Ford may fly the Millennium Falcon and dodge ancient traps, but this grilled cheese might be his boldest move yet.
