How to Make a Grilled Tuscany Tomato Sandwich This is a wonderful grilled cheese sandwich, one of the best you'll find.  You'll make this often. The bread takes this sandwich to another level.   To make the Italian mayonnaise: Place mayonnaise in a small bowl, no more than you will use in four or five days. Add your favorite Italian seasoning blend, a little at a time, stirring after each addition. Taste after each addition until you have the right intensity. Set aside for 30 minutes to let the flavors develop. Check if it needs additional seasoning. Keep it refrigerated for up to 5 days. To make the sandwich: Thinly slice the tomatoes and lay them on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and let sit to release any water, about 15 minutes. Pat dry.  Lay out 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Spread each Italian mayonnaise. Layer each with 2 slices of cheese, making sure that they cover to the edges. Follow with 2 slices of tomato and then more cheese, so that you have cheese over and under the tomato slices. Close the sandwiches and spread the butter on both the top and bottom of each sandwich.  Place 2 sandwiches into a nonstick medium skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the bread is evenly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip, cover again, and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is visibly melted, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.   The reviews were good.
