Basil-Tomato Grilled Cheese - Some SERIOUS Goodness!

Although I'm not doing a recipe linky each Wednesday, I did want to share our recipe from this evening.    It was YUMMY!   And, it was EASY!      I hope you enjoy, because my family did!

Basil-Tomato Grilled Cheese

8 slices Italian bread (3/4 inch thick)

8 slices Mozzarella cheese

2 large plum tomatoes, sliced

2 tablespoons minced fresh basil

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1. On four slices of bread, layer cheese and tomatoes: sprinkle with the basil, vinegar, salt and pepper.  Top with remaining bread.
2. In a small bowl, combine the oil, Parmesan cheese and garlic powder; brush over the outsides of each sandwich.
3. In a small skillet over medium heat, toast sandwiches until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted.

If you have a picky eater, you can just make plain grilled cheese without a lot of extra effort.

That sounds great! You can't go wrong with grilled cheese. On my dh's birthday he requested grilled cheese with avocado and bacon. Tonight we had a veggie stir-fry and egg rolls. Our new favorite though has been fish tacos!

Yum! These sound great!! We had sandwiches with this red pepper spread I made before I left for work. They were pretty good.
