Ingredients

  • 8 slices sourdough bread, ½-inch thick

  • 8 slices ripe tomato, cut ¼-inch thick
  • 4 thin slices Manchego cheese
  • 2.5 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • Brush the outside of your sandwiches with olive oil. Place your sandwiches onto the grill gently and top with a weight (a cast iron pan works well, or another heavy pan with a big rock or brick). 

  • Cook your sandwiches for about 2 minutes, then flip and grill for 2–3 minutes more, taking care not to burn the bread. The cheese should be melted and the bread nicely toasted. 

  • Remove your bocadillos from the grill, cut them in half and serve immediately. Enjoy!
