Perfect Grilled Cheese

This is how I make a grilled cheese sandwich: spread butter on one side of a good bread like sourdough or multigrain, and place butter-side down in a cast iron pan. Place slices of a good cheese like extra sharp cheddar on the top of the bread. Put a lid over the pan to promote cheese melting. When it begins to soften and melt, add thin slices of a ripe, real tomato. Keep checking the underside of the bread to make sure you like the toasty brown color that's happening. Add the top bread layer, and flip after re-buttering the pan to brown the other side. Voila! Best eaten with piping hot tomato soup sprinkled with hot sauce like Tapatio.
