Step 1
Start by heating a cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spread about half a teaspoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. Once the pan is hot, place the bread slices mayo-side down. On one slice, layer the jalapeño Jack cheese followed by the tomato slices. On the other slice, add the mozzarella, then some fresh basil leaves, and top it all off with Cheddar cheese. Let the bread cook until it turns a beautiful golden brown, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes. When the cheese starts to melt and the bread is crisp, carefully flip the slice with the tomato on top of the one with the basil. Press down gently, and cook for a minute more if needed to help everything meld together nicely.

How to serve
Serve with a side of fresh salad or tomato soup for a complete meal. A light drizzle of balsamic glaze can add a nice tangy contrast.
Storage & leftovers
If you have leftovers, wrap the sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store it in the fridge. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to keep the bread crispy and the cheese melted.
