Instructions

1 .   Preheat grill in the closed position.

2 .   Brush one side of each slice of bread with the oil.  Lay 2 slices of bread on a work surface, oiled side down. Build the sandwiches in this order: prosciutto, tomato, basil and cheese, evenly dividing the ingredients between the sandwiches. Top with remaining bread, oiled side up.

3 .   Place sandwiches on the bottom grill plate and close, applying medium pressure to the handle for 30 seconds. Grill panini for 4 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bread is nicely toasted.

4 .   Let rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Cut in half on the diagonal and serve warm.
