Grilled Fontina and Prosciutto Sandwich

Recipe: Grilled Fontina and Prosciutto Sandwich

Date Cooked: February 20, 2011

The best way to describe this recipe is: Fancy Ham and Cheese. But not only is it a fancy little sandwich, it was pretty delicious as well. And boy oh boy, does Jonathan Waxman love his butter!

Prosciutto, Fontina, French sourdough, and butter

Slices of prosciutto and Fontina were layered on the bread. The top of each sandwich was also lightly buttered.

Butter was melted in a skillet and once it began to bubble, the sandwich was added, un-buttered side down, flipped once, and cooked till golden brown on both sides.

Once the cheese was visibly melting, the sandwich was removed, sliced in half, and served with pickles and mustard.

Like I mentioned earlier, this is a fancy ham and cheese. However, I am a huge fan of Fontina cheese - it really has this wonderful earthy taste that pairs incredibly well with the prosciutto (and I'm sure the 45% milk fat content doesn't hurt either). All in all, it was good but not glamorous.

Enjoy!
