Gourmet Grilled Ham & Caprese Sandwich

Mix softened butter, herbs,  garlic and salt in a small bowl.  Set aside.  

Assemble 2 sandwiches by layering 1 slice of bread, 4 slices of ham (shingled), 2 thick slices of tomato, 2 slices of mozzarella, and additional slice of bread for each sandwich.  Spread 1 tablespoon compound butter on each of the top slices of bread.  

Heat skillet over medium-low heat.  Melt 2 tablespoons of compound butter in skillet.  Place sandwiches into warmed skillet and cover.  Cook for 3-4 minutes, until bottom bread is golden brown, then carefully flip over, and cover.  Continue to cook an additional 3-4 minutes to brown the bottom bread.  

Turn off heat and remove from skillet.  Lift top slices of bread and place 2 large basil leaves onto sandwich, and drizzle with balsamic glaze.  Replace top slices of bread and cut in half if desired before serving.
