Margherita Grilled Cheese Sandwich

All right. Let's talk about something happy. Let's talk about sandwiches!

A few weeks ago, I had an idea: what if I made a margherita pizza? But what if that pizza wasn't a pizza, but a sandwich? A grilled cheese sandwich?

Yeeees. Best idea ever! I mean, probably somebody, somewhere, thought of doing that before. But as I had never heard of anyone doing it, I found it to be a new and original concept.

When it comes to Awkward Mormon Girl's margherita grilled cheese sandwiches, here's how you do:

1. Obtain two slices of white bread, two or three slices of mozzarella (the fresher the better), one or two slices of tomato, about ten leaves of fresh basil, some butter that has been softened at room temperature, and salt and pepper (if desired).

2. Butter one slice of bread. Place it butter-side down on a pan and place the cheese, tomato, basil, salt, and pepper on top.

3. Put the pan in the over and broil this slice of bread at a medium-to-low setting for two, maybe three, minutes. You want the cheese to be a little melted and the basil to be slightly wilted, but you don't want the edges of the bread to burn.

4. Remove the pan from the oven.

5. Use a spatula to transfer the bread from the pan to a frying pan or griddle or whatever you prefer to use for grilled cheese sandwiches. Turn on the heat. The butter on the bottom of the bread should be melted, so all you need to do is keep it grilling until the bottom is golden brown.

6. While the bread is grilling, butter the other slice of bread and place it butter side up on top of the other, cheese-and-tomato-and-basil-covered slice. Now it's a real sandwich!

7. When the bottom slice is golden brown, use the spatula to flip the sandwich.

8. Wait for the slice that used to be on the top but now is on the bottom to become golden brown.

9. Enjoy!
