Italian Tomato and Cheese Melt

Submitted by EdsGirlAngie

"An awesome, quick summer sandwich! You can use only mozzarella cheese, but I like the sharper flavor of provolone (or fontinella) added in. Some ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil and a crusty roll, and it's ready in 5 minutes. Ingredients are for one sandwich; make as many as you like!"

Yummo! I used a garlic and cheese pita bread and grilled in a sandwich maker.
