THE ITALIAN LOVE SAMMICH
The other day I had a sammich similar to this for lunch. I couldn't get over how good it was! So yesterday for Valentine's Day, I decided to recreate it in my kitchen for my honey. (Hence the "love" in the name) Dan really liked it so I decided to share it with the world. If you decide to try this sammich, I BEG you, don't use the "convenience food" stuff. This is a gourmet sammich and if you do not use the fresh ingredients, you will not get the full effect of the flavors.

Steps:
- Take the slices of focaccia and toast them slightly in a 375 degree oven; about 5 minutes.
- While the bread is toasting, slice your tomatoes and mozzerella, you want thin slices.
- Remove the bread from the oven.
- Top one side with slices of proscuitto, cheese, tomato and finally basil leaves.
- Sprinkle a tiny bit of red wine vinegar and olive oil and the other piece of bread, on the side that will be facing towards the toppings; just a little bit, you don't want it soggy.
- Put both slices together and with your hands (or a brush), rub a bit of olive oil on the outside of each slice.
- Place on a hot grill for about 2 minutes on each side.
- I used my George Foreman grill for that step and it worked FABULOUSLY!
- Remove from the grill, wrap in foil and place in the oven (still at 375) for about 7 minutes.
- Remove, unwrap, slice in half and enjoy.
- Suggested sides: a really good pickle spear, olive salad, gourmet chips, a leafy green salad or whatever you enjoy with your favorite sammich.
