FEEDS: 2-10

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• sour dough baguette
• cheddar cheese
• grape or cherry tomatoes
• fresh basil leaves
• olive oil

LET'S COOK

Begin by slicing the fresh sour dough baguette into thin slices. Lay the cuts out and place a slice of the cheddar cheese on half of them. On the cheese, place a slice of the tomato.

Next, make a short stack of the fresh basil leaves and then slice it into thin strips. Place an appropriate pile of the fresh basil on each slice of cheese. Arrange another slice of cheddar cheese on that and finally, another slice of the baguette.

Pour some olive oil in a heavy gauge sauté pan over a medium high burner. Slide in the little cheese sandwiches and grill on both sides to a nice golden brown.

Serve with a glass of wine or a cocktail prior to dinner.

MORE IDEAS:

You might consider using a bit of diced ham between the layers of cheddar cheese.

Or, a simple swipe of your favorite mustard between the cheese layers is a nice alternative to the tomato and basil.

Experiment and enjoy them.
