3-4 tbsps mayonnaise (* I think JFG is the best, but whatever you like*) .
2 slices American cheese .
1 tbsp butter .
crisp leaf lettuce (optional)
Directions
Step #1 Add butter to the outsides of the bread.
Step #2 Lay down one slice in stovetop pan, add the 2 slices of cheese, then lay down other slice of bread on top of cheese.
Step #3 Cook in the pan till it is a perfect grilled cheese -- about 7-9 mins.
Step #4 Put grilled cheese on plate & as soon as possible pull the two pieces of bread apart.
Step #5 Lay the tomato down on the cheesiest side.
Step #6 Add 3-4 tbs (big heaping spoons) of mayonnaise to other side & smooth out until you have a very thick layer of mayonnaise.
Step #7 You can now add the onion (*which is good but optional*).
Step #8 You can also add the lettuce (*optional; I have never added lettuce before, but I am sure it is good, but I would just add mayonnaise & tomato first [and onion if you want]*).
Step #9 I add a little salt & pepper to the tomatoes.
