Equipment
- Cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sandwich Bread (*can sub with a Kaiser roll sliced in half)
- 1 tbsp butter or mayo
- 9 tater tots
- 2 slices vegan cheese
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat a small cast iron skillet on medium-low heat while you assemble the ingredients.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread. Set one slice of bread butter-side-down on the skillet. Layer a slice of cheese on top, then arrange the tater tots over top, then layer with another slice of cheese, and finally cover with the second piece of buttered bread.
- Splash 1 tbsp of water onto the skillet to create some steam (this is essential to melt the cheese). Cover with a lid.
- Cook until the water has evaporated away, and the bottom slice of bread has been toasted to your liking (5 minutes for me).
- Firmly press down on the sandwich with a spatula to somewhat flatten the tater tots. Carefully flip the sandwich over. Add another 1 tbsp of water and cover for another 4–5 minutes.
- If you like a darker toast, you can flip and grill both sides again until they have reached your desired colour.
