GRILLED CHEESE & TOMATO SANDWICH
I started liking grilled cheese & tomato sandwiches years ago at a little restaurant near my office. I would go about three times a week to order a grilled provolone cheese & tomato sandwich. Today I wanted something different, something a little spicier, so I made up the following recipe. I thought it was delicious! Hope you try it and enjoy it!

- Be sure to drain the tomatoes well before assembling the sandwiches, or they will make the bread soggy.
- Use a good quality goat cheese for the best flavor. If you prefer, you can substitute feta cheese or cream cheese.
- Fresh basil is the best choice for this recipe, but you can use dried basil if you don't have any fresh on hand.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately, while the tomatoes are still warm and the bread is crispy.
