Grown Up Grilled Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 lb mozzarella cheese, sliced thin (Monica would never use anything but fresh mozzarella packed in water)
1 large tomatoes, sliced thin
4 slices large sourdough bread or 4 slices crusty peasant bread
salt and pepper
1/4 cup whole fresh basil leaf
1/4 cup olive oil

Preparation

Layer the cheese and tomato over 2 slices of bread.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and top each with a few basil leaves.
Cover with the remaining slices of bread to make sandwiches.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sandwiches and cook, pressing down on them with a spatula until the bottoms are golden brown.
Flip the sandwich and add the remaining 2 tbsp oil.
Continue cooking, occasionally pressing down on sandwiches with spatula until the other side is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove from pan and enjoy.
