Description

A delightful twist on a classic grilled cheese, featuring creamy mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, and fresh basil.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices of bread
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 2 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large ripe tomato, sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Butter one side of each slice of bread.
  3. Place one slice, butter-side down, in the skillet.
  4. Layer with mozzarella, tomato slices, and basil. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
  6. Cook until the bread is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, then carefully flip and cook the other side until golden and the cheese has melted.
  7. Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Don’t rush the cooking to achieve golden brown bread.
