    Prosciutto Grilled Cheese Sandwich - An elevated version of a grilled cheese sandwich, using premium ingredients of prosciutto, fontina cheese, arugula and a hearty white bread.

    We eat a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches in this house.  What is not to love about a grilled cheese?  They are quick and they are easy but more importantly, grilled cheese sandwiches are delicious!

    Sometimes the sandwiches we make are easy, just two slices of bread and some cheese.  But a lot of times I want more than that.  I want different.  I want flavor.  I want grown up.  Basically,  I want amazing!

    Is that too much to ask for?

    The other day, while shopping, I wandered around looking for ingredients that would step up my grilled cheese.

    In the cart went prosciutto.  Next was fontina cheese.  Fontina melts well, is easy to grate/shred and pairs perfectly with prosciutto.  I chose arugula as my green because I use arugula quite a bit in grilled sandwiches.  It is peppery and versatile.  It wilts but doesn't get mushy or watery like some greens.  Let's say it's just plain awesome.

    Last up, the bread aisle.  Don't get intimidated.  Here's what you need to know about choosing bread for the perfect grilled cheese sandwich:

    It should be:

    • thick
    • sturdy
    • hearty
    • soft
    • yummy

    Having all that criteria in mind, I went with Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse® Hearty White Bread.  I noticed the slices of this bread were thick sliced which is important so it can hold in all the ooey gooey goodness but it still remained soft.  The packaged promised "fresh from the oven taste" and it didn't disappoint!

    After I got everything home and started to assemble, I had the bright idea to drizzle a little honey inside the sandwich.  Originally, I was going to try a jam but I changed my mind at the last second.  A girl can do that.  The honey gave the sandwich just a little something extra.

    Want to know how to make the sandwich?  Of course you do, that's why you are here.

     

    First, I drizzle one side of each slice of bread with honey.  I set one slice aside and use the other slice to layer all the ingredients.

    On top of the honey goes half of the cheese.

    After the cheese, I place two slices of prosciutto.  If the prosciutto rips, and it will, no big deal.  It will be fine.  I promise.

    Over the prosciutto I placed the arugula and then the rest of the cheese.

    Now you will put the other slice of bread on top (honey side inside the sandwich).  Brush melted butter on the outsides of both slices of bread.

    Plop the sandwich into a preheated pan/skillet.  Cook until golden brown.  Then, flip it over and cook until the other side is golden brown.  Done.

      I make something really similar! But I also grill up the prosciutto to make it a little crispy before putting it on the sandwich!

      I think my bio even states I'm a master of spatula foods. 🙂 I love grilled cheese sandwiches, and this take on one looks so, so good! I need to try that bread too.

      Love the idea of a little honey in there - I have had prosciutto with fig jam a few times and the little sweetness goes so well. Sounds like a tasty mix.

      I'm with you on the arugula. I use it in my grilled sandwiches all the time. You are so right that it is perfect in this type of sandwich.

      A very simple and quick recipe for a hearty sandwich. I love such recipes. I always look for similar dishes, because I try to prepare home budgets and give them with my husband to work. Sandwich is a good option for a lunch snack.
      Thanks for step-by-step recipe and appetizing photos 🙂
