DIRECTIONS
|
|
1:
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add one of the tortillas, and heat through for 1 minute.
Arrange the Gruyère cheese slices and basil leaves on top of the tortilla and season with salt and pepper.

|
|
|
2:
Place the remaining tortilla on top to make a sandwich and flip the whole thing over with a metal spatula. Cook for a few minutes, until the underneath is golden.
|
|
|
|
3:
Slide the tortilla sandwich on to a chopping board or plate and cut into wedges. Serve immediately.

Variation: These crisp tortillas make excellent snacks to share with friends on a night in. If you have a few slices of ham or salami in the refrigerator, add these to the tortillas - or simply prepare a mixture of the two to satisfy a range of palates.
