Hot cheese sandwiches in the microwave

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make hot sandwiches in the microwave? Prepare your ingredients. I used a sliced ​​loaf, but toast or regular white bread will do. If your bread or loaf is whole, cut it into slices of the same thickness (about 1 cm) and size.

2. STEP 2

   

   Tomatoes should not be soft and very juicy, otherwise they will give a lot of juice and the sandwiches will become soggy. Wash the tomato, dry with paper towels and cut into thin slices with a sharp knife.

3. STEP 3

   

   Choose high-quality and tasty hard cheese, the taste of future sandwiches will depend on this. It should also melt well. Regular hard cheese like Russian will do. You can replace it with unbrined mozzarella or suluguni according to your taste.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grease slices of loaf or bread with a thin layer of soft butter. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper to your liking.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cover the plate on which you will place the sandwiches with a paper towel. This is necessary so that during cooking in the microwave the bread does not gain moisture from below.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the sandwiches in a circle, leaving the middle empty. This way the heat will be distributed evenly.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place tomato slices (1-2 pieces) on the loaf slices.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place slices of cheese on top of tomatoes (1-3 slices per sandwich). Microwave sandwiches on full power for about 1 minute until cheese is melted.

9. STEP 9

   

   Serve hot cheese sandwiches immediately before they cool down; they won’t be as tasty when cooled down. Before serving, you can sprinkle with any chopped herbs, for example, dill, green onions. I love sesame seeds, so I sprinkled them on top of the sandwiches. To accompany these sandwiches, fresh lettuce leaves and your favorite sauces are suitable. Bon appetit!

When I’m too lazy to bother with dinner, I make these hot sandwiches. My favorite option is mini pizzas on a loaf with sausage, tomatoes and cheese.

I made sandwiches using this recipe in addition to scrambled eggs for breakfast. We usually make it from white bread, but it’s not quite as usual with black bread. It turned out to be very tasty. We have Lithuanian custard bread with cumin, Parmesan cheese, and regular tomatoes from the supermarket. First I put it in the microwave for one minute, it turned out to be not enough, the cheese was not completely melted. I left it on for another minute. It made a great addition to scrambled eggs. And they are perfect as a quick snack. I definitely recommend the recipe, enjoy cooking it.

For a snack, I prepared hot sandwiches in the microwave. It's very simple and fast! Instead of ground red pepper, I used paprika and ground black pepper. The sandwiches turned out soft and juicy. The combination of tomato and cheese is, as always, a win-win! Thanks to the author for the recipe!
