# What You’ll Need:
→ Bread
01 - 4 slices jalapeño-studded bread
→ Cheese
02 - 4 slices pepper jack cheese
→ Vegetables
03 - 1 medium ripe tomato, thinly sliced
→ Spreads & Fats
04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
→ Seasonings
05 - Pinch of salt
06 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste
# How to Make It:
01 - Lay out all bread slices on a clean work surface. Generously butter one side of each slice using softened butter.
02 - Place two bread slices buttered side down. Layer each with 2 slices pepper jack cheese and distribute half the tomato slices evenly. Season tomatoes with salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
03 - Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until properly heated.
04 - Transfer sandwiches to the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even contact. Flip carefully and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until bread achieves deep golden brown color and cheese is completely melted.
05 - Remove sandwiches from skillet and let rest for 1 minute to allow cheese to set. Slice each sandwich diagonally in half and serve immediately while hot.
