Too often on a grilled cheese with tomato, the tomatoes are thin, underripe and lacking in flavor. For this version, we spread sharp Dijon mustard on thick slices of sourdough and load the sandwiches with shredded dill Havarti and shaved red onion. When the sandwiches are griddled, the cheese, onions and mustard meld together with the tomato to create the ultimate full-flavored version of the classic.

Directions

  1. Spread Dijon mustard on 2 slices sourdough bread. Top 1 slice with 1/2 cup shredded dill havarti, some shaved red onion, thick tomato slices, another 1/2 cup cheese and the other bread slice. Cook in a buttered nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until browned and the cheese has melted, 3 minutes per side, adding more butter as needed. Sprinkle with salt.
