Ingredients
- 4 slices Rustic bread (or any crusty bread)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 piece Garlic clove
- 4 slices Ham (thinly sliced)
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 pinch Salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil.
Step 3
Peel the garlic clove and lightly rub it over one side of each slice of bread for added flavor.
Step 4
Place the bread slices on the hot grill pan, garlic-rubbed side down, and grill for 1-2 minutes until crisp and golden. Flip and grill the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the bread and immediately layer each slice with one piece of ham and one slice of mozzarella cheese.
Step 6
Return the bread to the grill pan, ensuring the cheese-topped side is facing up. Cover with a lid or foil to trap heat and melt the cheese for about 2 minutes.

Once the cheese is melted, remove the bread from the pan and place 2 fresh basil leaves on each slice.
Step 8
Season with a small pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 9
