This one straddles the line between Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Panini. My requirements for a Grilled Cheese Sandwich are Bread, Butter, and Cheese, and from there I spiral out of control. A Panini is a toasted sandwich usually made with a press that has cheese and some kind of smoked pork like Prosciutto. It's a blurry, delicious line that, quite frankly, I don't really care about. This isn't friggin' Rocket Science, it's Grilled Cheese.
I took the classic "Caprese Salad" and stuck it in between two pieces of heavily buttered bread. Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato, and Basil are required. I added some shredded Mozzarella to act as an adhesive. Drizzle some Extra Virgin Olive Oil on it and grill away! The fresh whole basil leaves really made it great.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Please let me know what you think in the section below.
