Ingredients: 4 slices thick sourdough bread; 2 slices American cheese; 2 slices sharp cheddar, sliced; 1 ripe tomato, sliced; 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened; ½ tsp garlic powder

The ultimate grilled cheese, built from two melty cheeses and sliced tomato between thick sourdough. Spreading garlic butter on the outside of the bread rather than plain butter is what gives the crust its extra savoury edge as it turns deep golden in the pan.
