Baking your grilled cheese sandwiches in the oven is also a great time saver when you're feeding a lot of people and with minimal cleanup if you line your baking sheet with foil.
Since I love anything Caprese, I chose to try that first but be creative! Try it with turkey, chicken or ham slices and/or tomato slices with your choice of cheese or even your favorite tuna mixture. Switch up the herbs too ;-)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Layer the cheese and tomatoes on two slices of bread. Evenly sprinkle each with basil and vinegar and top with remaining bread slices.
Mix the oil and garlic salt in a small bowl, and brush over the outsides of both sandwiches.
Place sandwiches on a foil lined baking sheet, bake for 5 to 7 minutes until the bottom side of the sandwich is golden brown. Flip the sandwiches and bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes until other side is golden brown and serve.

I too started making grilled cheese sandwiches in the oven. I have 2 football player sons, who can eat more than a few at one time, so started doing it so I could make a bigger quantity. It really works - I think the cheese seems meltier because the bread dries out more while toasting.
When my daughter Ariel was much younger she called them "girl cheese sandwiches."
Hey Deeli, sounds like a sandwich that I will have to make for mom. I know that we will love it.
Instead of foil use Parchment paper, even less to clean up. I recycle my foil and picking the cheese off might tear the foil.
That is why I would use the parchment. Baking them is Brilliant!!
