- Butter one side of each slice of bread and place 4 of the slices butter-side down on a large griddle pan over medium heat. (You can use a frying pan, but will need to cook them in batches).
- On each piece of bread, place one slice of cheese, one slice of tomato and a few slices of chilli. Sprinkle dried basil and salt and pepper to taste. Top each sandwich with a slice of buttered bread, butter-side up.
- Pan-fry sandwiches until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes each side.

This is good. A nice change from the classic. It's best with garden fresh tomatoes, basil & peppers! Nice bite to it, thanks Mindy & Eric! - 25 Sep 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
serrano peppers are what 4-5 times hotter than the jalapeno? This is just a little too hot for most of my guests and family. When I made this I had a few different types of peppers on hand. Some habaneros, Anaheim chile,banana peppers as well as just some simple yellow sweet bells. That way people could pick their spice level. Personaly I like the habernero on this but habaneros are way too hot for most. - 28 Jul 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I love all the ingredients in this little version of grilled cheese so I knew it would be a winner. I used banana peppers from the jar and they gave the sandwich just the right amount a kick. Thank you! - 28 Jul 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
