Waffled Tomato-Grilled Cheese

• 4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
• Olive oil, for drizzling
• Kosher salt
• 8 slices country white bread
• Melted unsalted butter, for brushing
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 12 slices cheese, such as Cheddar, Swiss, Muenster or a combination
• Special equipment: waffle iron

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Arrange the tomatoes on a baking sheet cut-side down.
2. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
3. Slow-roast until the tomatoes are soft and wrinkled, about 1 hour.
4. Set aside to cool.
5. (The tomatoes can be made and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead.)
6. Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
7. Brush one side of each bread slice with melted butter.
8. Lay the bread out on a clean work surface, dry-side up.
9. Spread each slice of bread with some of the mayonnaise.
10. Top 4 bread slices with 2 tomato halves, slightly smashing them into the bread.
11. Top with 3 cheese slices each and the remaining bread slices.
12. Place two sandwiches at a time in the waffle iron and gently close the lid (don't press down).
13. Cook until the cheese is melted and the sandwiches are golden-brown, 6 to 10 minutes.
14. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
15. Cut in half and serve.
