Mediterranean Grilled Cheese

Makes 4 sandwiches

8 slices firm white bread

¼ cup mayonnaise

6 oz thinly sliced Fontina cheese, room temp

6 oz thinly sliced ham

1 large tomato, sliced thin

8 large or 16 small basil leaves

½ sweet red or other sweet onion, sliced thin

4 Tablespoons of melted butter

Spread each slice of bread with mayo. On 4 slices, mayo side up, stack ½ of cheese, all the ham, tomato, basil and onion, then the remaining cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, mayo side down. Heat griddle or skillet. Brush top of bread with melted butter, then invert onto cooking surface. Grill over medium low heat until golden brown. Brush uncooked side with butter, flip and grill until golden brown. Pressing down on the sandwich during the grilling helps to brown the sandwich.
