Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

• pepper to taste

Preparation:

• Have 4 large cans and a medium skillet ready near the oven.

• In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, cheese, basil, lemon juice, and pepper. Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise mixture on each bread slice. Divide the ham and tomato evenly among 4 bread slices, then place another slice on top of each sandwich.

• Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place 2 paninis in the skillet. Place the medium skillet we had prepared on top of the paninis and then place the cans on top. Cook the panini until golden on one side (approximately 2 minutes), lower the heat to medium-low and flip the panini (place the skillet with cans on top again) and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.

• Repeat the process with the other 2 paninis.
