Tomato cheese sandwich | Roasted tomato grilled cheese sandwich

Tomato cheese sandwich recipe – Quick and simple sandwich recipe made with pan roasted tomatoes and cheese. This is almost the same as the simple cheese sandwich but with an addition of tomatoes and onions that are roasted on a tawa. The roasting of tomatoes and onions lend a unique flavor to the sandwich.

Tomatoes and onions can be roasted in a oven, grill pan or over direct fire. To make it quickly I have done it on a tawa/ griddle. If you are making for more than 2 to 3 people it is good to make it in a oven. To spice up the sandwich you can use any hot sauces, spice powder and herbs of your choice. You can use grated mozarella cheese or cheese slices.

Choose tomatoes that are firm and just ripe. Cut them to thick slices otherwise they will turn mushy while they get roasted.
