Butter one side of each of the slices of bread

On the other side of the bread, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce

On two slices of bread, add cheese, sliced tomatoes, and basil. Top the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices

Place the sandwiches buttered side down on a skillet heated to medium high. Place a sandwich press or a heavy bottomed skillet on top of the sandwiches. The best grilled cheese is always pressed.

Cook about 3 minutes until the first side is golden brown. Flip and repeat.

Serve with balsamic glaze on the side for dipping (optional)
