2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 container (5.3 oz) Liberté® Greek plain yogurt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (1 oz)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves

Tips:

Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. Look for tomatoes that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color.
If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil. Use about 1/4 teaspoon of dried basil for every 1 tablespoon of fresh basil.
Use a good quality olive oil for the best flavor. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sandwiches. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
Serve the sandwiches immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and gooey and the bread is crispy.

Conclusion:

These tomato basil grilled cheese sandwiches are a quick and easy lunch or dinner that the whole family will love. They are packed with flavor and can be made with just a few simple ingredients. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give these sandwiches a try. You won't be disappointed!
