Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, mayonnaise, and olive oil until smooth. Set this spread aside.
Step 2
Lay out the slices of sourdough bread on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the prepared sun-dried tomato mixture on one side of each slice.
Step 3
Place two slices of mozzarella cheese and two slices of provolone cheese on top of the spread on two of the bread slices. Add two fresh basil leaves to each sandwich for a burst of flavor.
Step 4
Top the cheese and basil with the remaining two slices of bread, spread-side down, to form two sandwiches.
Step 5
Butter the outside of each sandwich generously on both sides for an even, golden crust during cooking.
Step 6
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown, and the cheese is melted fully.
Step 7
Remove from the skillet and let the sandwiches cool slightly before slicing in half.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your Tuscany Grilled Cheese!
