Ingredients

8	slices	bread, italian	about 10 oz. total
8	ounces	mozzarella cheese	thinly sliced
8	each	basil	fresh leaves, rinsed
1	x	sweet red bell peppers, roasted	strips
2	tablespoons	olive oil

Directions

For each sandwich, top a slice of bread with a thin layer of cheese, red peppers, basil leaves, and more cheese.

Top with a second slice of bread.

Brush both sides of the sandwich lightly with olive oil, then push two or three toothpicks all the way through the sandwich to secure.

Lay sandwiches over medium heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 4 to 5 seconds); close lid.

Cook, turning to prevent bread from scorching (remove toothpicks when turning, if they catch on the grill), until sandwiches are well browned on both sides, with some darker grill marks in spots, and cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes total.

Serve hot, while cheese is still melted.

Frank-Ly Paella, Barcelona Style

Well, sounds interesting but this is not a "paella" (paella names come form the reciepient used and NEVER is made at the owen), neither the typical way how we cook the rice here in Barcelona. Sorry to sound too "purist" but I had to say it.
