Basil Tomato Mozzarella Melts

My Aunt Gena introduced us to these KILLER sandwiches last summer, which she learned from her oh-so clever, East Coast daughter in law, Karena.  Supper time was rapidly approaching, and I knew I wanted to do something with basil…this was the OBVIOUS winner!

  It’s like Summer in a Sammich people.    Seriously.

How do you like my oh-so technical term: “Sammich”?

  It is defined in the urban dictionary as: 

1. slang for sandwich, used in the case of an extremely good sandwich

Yup, this is a Sammich alright.  YUMMO.

Ingredients

• 8 pieces Whole Wheat Bread
• 6 Tablespoons Butter (soft)
• 4 slices Of A Real Mozzarella Cheese Ball
• 12 whole Basil Leaves
• 1 whole Large Tomato, We Like Big Beef From The Garden
• Kosher salt

Spread 8 pieces out on a baking sheet. Butter 4 of the 8 pieces of bread. Slice Mozzarella cheese and lay on the 4 non butter pieces of bread. Broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
Pull from oven, add a thick slice of tomato, salt to taste, and add a single layer of basil leaves to each sandwich.
Dig in!

Congratulations, Summer has officially just arrived in your mouth.
