Meatless Monday - Grilled Cheese with Tomato & Basil (Lunch Edition)


It's the last Monday in February.  Which means it's our last "Meatless Monday" recipe.  This one is for those of you who are in the husband-doesn't-approve-of-meatless-meals-and-the-kids-are-having-grilled-cheese-for-lunch situation.

If you have these simple ingedients on hand then you're ready to make Tomato & Basil Grilled Cheese.

All you have to do is make up the sandwich like you usually would:

Then sprinkle a little, or a lot, of basil on there:

Add some sliced tomato:

And grill it until it's toasted and the cheese is melted:

Then enjoy!

Of course this is just the "what I had on hand" version.  You could amp this up a little by using a fancy cheese, better bread or fresh basil...  but when the kids are eating "plain old" grilled cheese this does just the trick!
