Tomato Basil Prosciutto Panini - Lunch Version

<p>One of my favorite quick lunches are paninis. I still can't make myself buy one of those fancy panini makers yet. I improvise with a grill pan and another heavy skillet. This panini is light and savory. You can make it with or without prosciutto if you would like too!</p>
