Preheat oven to 350 F.
Assemble your sandwich in this order- Bread,
cheese, salt & pepper, basil, tomato, bread.
Flip that sandwich over so that the cheese melts
down over everything else.
Spray both sides of the sandwich with a light
coating of oil using an oil sprayer. You can also
spread a light coat of butter on before assembling
the sandwich if that works for your eating plan.
Fold the sandwich into a piece of parchment, and
then sandwich the entire thing between two cookie
sheets. (I used 2 on top because my pans were tiny
and I wanted a little more weigh on top.)

Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is
nicely melted.
Remove from oven and remove cookie sheets and
parchment.
Sprinkle the top of the sandwich with a bit of
balsamic vinegar to taste.
Cool enough so you don’t burn yourself and enjoy.
Note that if you want the bread to be crispier,
you can remove the pan and parchment from the top
of the sandwich after 15 minutes of baking and
turn your broiler on. Just remember to flip the
sandwich half way through that last 5 minutes so
both sides get crispy. If your tomato slices are
too thick or you put too much cheese on, the bread
will be much soggier. So keep it light and simple.
