Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Lightly butter one side of one tortilla and place in pan - buttered side down.
  3. Quickly arrange half the Gruyere slices and basil on top of the tortilla.
  4. Optional: Add half the chopped chicken if you want. Makes this more of a meal than a snack. I usually use leftover rotisserie chicken from the previous night's meal.
  5. Lightly butter one side of a second tortilla and place on top to make a sandwich - buttered side up.
  6. When the bottom tortilla is looking golden and crispy (should be close by the time you add the tortilla on top), use a spatula to flip the whole thing over.
  7. Cook a few minutes until the new bottom tortilla is also golden and crispy.
  8. Slide the whole thing onto a chopping board or plate and let it rest while you make the second one.
  9. Cut into wedges (I use a pizza cutter) and serve immediately.
  10. Refrigerate leftovers and enjoy for lunch! I like to eat the leftovers cold, but I suppose you could just reheat in a microwave.
