Distribute the sautéed mushrooms and bell pepper evenly over the cheese. Add a few fresh basil leaves on top for added flavor.
Step 5
Top with the remaining cheese and cover with the other slice of bread, buttered side up.
Step 6
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
