My husband and I enjoyed these wonderful sandwiches today for lunch. Very tasty and I loved the flavor of the Parmesan/butter mixture. I forgot to put the basil in but I did use it as a garnish. I constructed ours a little differently....I buttered the first slices of bread, laid them in a cold skillet, then assembled the rest of the sandwich right in the pan. Saved the hassle of trying to butter both sides of a fully constructed sandwich. Thanks Mimi, I will for sure make these again! -
Super sandwich! Second time I made it I got even more creative. I used all of your ingredients and also added 1/2 cup (packed) grated whole-milk mozzarella cheese, reducing the jack cheese. Also added about 5 tablespoons chopped and drained roasted red peppers from the jar. I love this with a good sour dough bread. Thanks for posting Mimi. -
FABULOUS! That sums it up. Thank you for posting! -
I'll never make a plain ham and cheese sandwich again! This was wonderful, especially the crust.

What a fabulous idea! I loved the nutty flavor from the parmesan in the butter as it grilled up. I followed your recipe exactly and it was fab. Thank you for a great summer meal.
