  1. Yummay! I had homemade pesto so I put that on instead of the basil. Other than that I followed the recipe. Grilling gave it a great flavor! This is a keeper for sure.
     
  2. Ahhhh, this is heaven. I made these for lunch. PERFECT! Great fresh flavors and it couldn't be any easier. Brushing the sandwiches with the olive oil, cheese and garlic powder really puts this sandwich ovr the top!!! Way to go, GotBoxer!!!!
     
  3. This was a home run! I omitted the vinegar and parmesan, and used pesto rather than fresh basil (as suggested by Chef #1556087). I used an idea for grilled cheese from Jacques Pepin and baked these at 400 degrees - flipping them after 10-12 minutes - much easier than grilling especially for a crowd and the bread comes out with a lot more crunch. Wonderful!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in a suburb of Des Moines with my wonderful husband, two children, a Boxer and a neurotic Golden Retriever. Every day I am reminded of how blessed I am when I have one of the five of them gazing at me longingly wanting something I have just cooked! <br />It was my DH that taught me how to cook when we first got married (I think he was tired of my mantra If it can't be cooked in a toaster <br />or a microwave in 60 seconds or less - I'm not making it!) <br />I turned out to be an eager student and he was a VERY patient teacher. Little did he know that for the next 13 years he was going to have to put up with endless nights of Food Network, cookbooks spilling out of every bookcase, and me chasing him through the house trying to stick a fork or spoon in his mouth saying Here - try this!. <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
