Instructions

In a bowl, combine the cheddar, Brie, and basil.3. In another bowl, mix the butter, mayo (if using), Asiago, and everything bagel seasoning. Spread the butter mix on the outside of each slice of bread. 4. Sandwich the cheese mixture and tomatoes between 2 pieces of buttered bread, buttered sides on the outside. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 2 sandwiches. 4. Heat 1–2 tablespoons butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
