TIP: If you grow your own tomatoes or buy them truly ripe from a farmers’ market, store them at room temperature for only a day or two, then move them to the refrigerator. Supermarket tomatoes are usually picked before they are fully ripe, so they’re often best if left on the countertop until they fully ripen; then transfer them to the refrigerator. For best flavor, let chilled tomatoes come to room temperature before eating.

Instructions

Step 1

1. Spread the mayonnaise on both sides of each slice of bread. On each of 4 slices of bread, layer 1 slice of cheese, 2 tomato slices, a scattering of basil leaves, and another slice of cheese. Place the remaining bread slices on top of each.

Step 2

2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Toast the sandwiches until nicely browned on both sides and the cheese is melted, 4 to 6 minutes, flipping the sandwiches about halfway through cooking. Reduce the heat to medium if the sandwiches are browning too quickly.

Step 3

3. Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
