Ingredients

• 2 slices Sourdough bread
• 2 oz Cheddar
• 2 oz Mozzarella
• 1 tbsp Parmesan
• 1.5 cups Crushed tomatoes
• 1/4 cup Basil

Steps

1. Combine the crushed tomatoes, torn basil, salt, and a pinch of sugar in a saucepan.
2. Simmer 15 minutes until slightly thickened and the raw tomato edge is gone.
3. Meanwhile, build the sandwich: cheddar and mozzarella between the sourdough slices.
4. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
5. Griddle the sandwich 3–4 minutes per side, pressing with a spatula, until deeply golden.
6. The cheese should be fully molten — peek inside before you call it done.
7. Cut into triangles and serve alongside the hot soup for dunking.
