Grilled Cheddar And Tomato Sandwiches With Miso Spread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 slices firm whole wheat bread (each about 5x4 inches)
4 tablespoons white miso or 4 tablespoons yellow miso
8 slices tomatoes, thick
4 slices onions, thin
12 large basil leaves
1 1/3 cups coarsely grated reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese (about 5 ounces)
4 teaspoons butter

Preparation

Place 4 bread slices on work surface.
Spread 1 tablespoon miso over each.
Top each with 2 tomato slices, then 1 onion slice and 3 basil leaves.
Sprinkle each with 1/3 cup cheese.
Top with remaining bread slices, pressing lightly to adhere.
Spread 1/2 teaspoon butter over top of each sandwich.
Heat 2 large nonstick skillets over medium-low heat.
Add 2 sandwiches, butter side down, to each skillet.
Cover and cook until bread is golden brown on bottom, about 4 minutes.
Spread top of each sandwich with 1/2 teaspoon butter.
Turn sandwiches over; cover and cook until bottoms are brown and cheese melts, about 3 minutes.
Cut sandwiches crosswise in half and serve.
