Panini

Drizzle a little olive oil on the bottom of a nonstick skillet. Place 2 pieces of sliced italian bread in the pan for each panini. (I just get some of the specialty bread at Bel Air). Lightly toast the first side, flip the bread over & cover with a thin layer of filling. Here's what we use:
Sliced, smoked mozzarella cheese (we can't find smoked at Bel Air, but we get the fresh ball of mozzarella), sliced tomato & fresh basil leaves.
Close the sandwich up like a grilled cheese & toast the outside to your taste.

**Maybe I'll invest in a panini maker!
