Caprese Melt

I love this time of year...
My tomatoes are ripening...
The Basil is growing...



Gardening is such a satisfying hobby of mine. It takes hard work, but in the end it's worth the effort!

There is nothing better than being able to pick fresh produce right out of the garden!

Ingredients:

8 slices of Italian bread
1 large tomato sliced
1 cup of fresh Basil (large handful)
8 slices of Mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper
Butter at room temp.



Directions:

Butter one side of bread and place on grill or pan.
Place one piece of Mozzarella cheese on bread.
Put a slice of tomato and a 1/4cup of basil.
Place another slice of cheese.
Add a buttered piece of bread (bread side out)
Grill 2-3 min or until golden
Flip sandwich and grill other side for 2-3 min until golden and cheese is melting (if you are not using George Foreman Grill).
Let sit for 2 min and serve.
