Ingredients

- 3 fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon butter for cooking
Instructions

- Cover the bread with slices of mozzarella cheese.
- Layer sliced tomatoes over the mozzarella.

- Butter one side of a second piece of bread, and place buttered side up, on top of sandwich.
- When bottom becomes a golden brown, flip over to brown other side.

Notes
If you find that the sides are a nice golden brown, but the cheese isn’t quite melted yet… turn the burner down to “low,” and let the sandwich rest for a bit, gently melting the cheese.
