How to Make Broiled Swiss Sandwich

  1. Toast two slices of bread on one side.
  2. Place the toasted slices on a baking sheet, toasted side down.
  3. Top one slice of bread with 1-2 slices of Swiss cheese (about 1 ounce).
  4. Place 1/4 inch thick slice of tomato on top of the cheese.
  5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Lightly brush the top of the tomato slice with 1 teaspoon of melted butter.
  7. Top with 1/2 of a hard-boiled egg, yolk-side down.
  8. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise over the egg white.
  9. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the mayonnaise is lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  10. Carefully remove from broiler. Top with the other slice of bread and serve immediately.
