Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato, Thai Basil, and Gorgonzola Piadine

"From Marlena Spieler’s cookbook, Grilled Cheese. She says of this recipe, “This pizza-like piadina is enticing indeed. Thai or Vietnamese basil gives the sandwich a slightly unusual twist; it tastes like the essence of the Mediterranean, and yet, the exotic aroma of Asia combines with the flavors of tomato and Gorgonzola, creating a completely different basil experience.” The recipe calls for “4 piadine or medium flour tortillas (12-inch)”; I’ve requested “piadine” be added as an ingredient, until then, it states the flour tortillas as the primary ingredient. In place of Parmesan cheese, you may use another grating cheese such as Asiago or grana. Serve with a side salad of your choice."
