Place in 2 slices in skillet, buttered side down. Divide grated cheese evenly between the two slices, spreading evenly to edges. Top with remaining slices of bread, tomato-cheese inside and butter outside. Press briefly with spatula, then cover with a pot lid or cookie sheet. Turn heat down to low and cook 5 minutes.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
