Brush a large, non-stick
frying pan with oil or butter so that you have a light
coating. Heat the frying pan over medium low. Place two
slices of meatloaf on the pan. Cook on each side until the
meatloaf is lightly browned in places and warmed through,
about 3 mins per side.
-
Meanwhile, spread one side of
each slice of bread with a thin layer of mayo (or Greek
yogurt) and the other with a thin layer of butter,
spreading the butter all the way to the edges. Remove the
meatloaf slices from the pan. Lay 2 slices of bread in the
skillet, buttered-sides down. Top each with a slice of
cheese, a slice of warmed meatloaf, and any other desired
toppings except the lettuce. Lay another slice of bread on top,
buttered-sides up.
-
Grill the meatloaf sandwiches
on each side until the bread is toasted and the cheese is
melted, about 2 to 4 mins per side (be patient!
Low-and-slow guarantees melted cheese and crisp, but not
burned bread). Repeat with the remaining two sandwiches.
Let sandwiches cool for a few minutes before serving.
-
TO STORE: Refrigerate
leftover meatloaf sandwich in an airtight storage
container for up to 1 day.
-
TO REHEAT: Rewarm
leftovers in a frying pan on the stovetop over medium-low
heat or with a panini press, or enjoy sandwich cold.
-
TO FREEZE: Wrap
individually in plastic wrap and then foil. Let thaw
overnight in refrigerator before reheating.
