Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 15 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make hot sandwiches in the microwave? Prepare the ingredients. I took a sliced loaf, but toast or plain white bread will do. If your bread or loaf is whole, cut it into slices of the same thickness (about 1 cm) and size.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Tomatoes should not be soft and very juicy, otherwise they will give a lot of juice and the sandwiches will get wet. Wash the tomato, dry it with paper towels and cut it into thin circles with a sharp knife.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Choose high-quality and delicious hard cheese, the taste of future sandwiches will depend on it. It should also melt well. The usual hard cheese of the Russian type will do. You can replace it according to your taste with non-salted mozzarella or suluguni.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Brush slices of loaf or bread with a thin layer of soft butter. Sprinkle with ground red pepper to your liking.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Cover the plate on which you will spread the sandwiches with a paper towel. This is necessary so that during the cooking process in the microwave, the bread from below does not gain moisture.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Place the sandwiches in a circle, leaving the middle empty. So the heat will spread evenly.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Put tomato slices on the loaf slices (1-2 pieces).

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Put cheese slices on top of the tomatoes (1-3 slices for each sandwich).Cook the sandwiches in the microwave at full power for about 1 minute until the cheese melts.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Serve hot cheese sandwiches right away until they are cold, they will not be so delicious when they are cold. Before serving, you can sprinkle any chopped herbs, for example, dill, green onions. I love sesame seeds, so I sprinkled them on top of the sandwiches. As an accompaniment to such sandwiches, fresh lettuce leaves and favorite sauces are suitable. Bon appetit!

The recipe can be supplemented. For example, putting slices of boiled or semi-smoked sausage, ham, sliced sausages on sandwiches. 

You can lightly fry thinly sliced champignons in a dry pan and put them on a sausage. Top with tomato slices and slices of cheese.

Instead of butter, bread can be smeared with a thin layer of tomato sauce or not smeared with anything. Try it as you like it best.

Choose juicy tomatoes, but dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

Keep in mind that microwaves don't work the same way. The cooking time and recommended power may differ from those stated in the recipe. Read the instructions for your device and take into account the features of your equipment.

Baked goods cooked in the microwave, always will differ in taste and structure of the dough from the one that was made in the oven or slow cooker. It doesn't mean she's bad/good - she's just OTHER . The crumb of a cupcake, pie, casserole and so on will be unusual and it is quite possible that you will not like it. If you have doubts about the taste of dough dishes in the microwave, it is better not to cook them!
