Hi Pjay ;-) I love your idea of mixing butter and Parmesan for the bread spread for a crunchy effect! I am actually planning on making this for dinner tonight (along with homemade Fire Roasted Tomato Soup) and am going to use your butter and parm but still add the garlic to it ;-) Thanks for the tip!

I often use tomatoes on my grilled cheese and I sometimes put grated parmesan mixed with butter on the outside for a tasty crunch to the bread. I have never thought of using balsamic - that sounds wonderful.

I can't wait until summer so I'll probably go with supermarket basil and farm stand winter tomatoes, but it'll be better than none at all. Thank you.

Love the added flavor from the tomato and basil :-)
Ingredients:
2 slices oat bread
2 slices cheddar cheese
2 slices tomato
Fresh basil leaves
Olive oil for coating bread
Directions:
Lightly coat both sides of the bread with olive oil. Cook the bread slices on one side for 2 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove slices from the skillet and place toasted side up on plate.
Top one of the toasted slices with the cheese, tomato and basil and then place the other slice of bread toasted side down.
Place the sandwich back into the skillet and cook until toasted and the cheese is melted.
