Cheese And Prosciutto Toastie

Cheese And Proscuitto Toastie

Cheese And Proscuitto Toastie

A crispy golden toasted sandwich, dripping with cheese and salty with Italian Prosciutto – what could be better?  A sandwich doesn’t have to be two limp slices of bread, hiding damp tomatoes and an indifferent filling.  Love your lunch and take time with your sandwich.  Choose good bread, not just any old sliced loaf.  Try sour dough, rye bread or a really great seeded loaf, all three have good individual flavour.

Choose cheddar for bite, gruyere for sweetness or ewes milk cheese such as Spanish Manchego for an unmistakeable nutty flavour.  Then pick your favourite ham, Parma, smoked proscuitto, San Danielle, speck or good old English ham – add a little mustard to that if you like.  Choose a great mayo or make your own.  It’s not difficult, just remember to drizzle that oil very, very slowly.

After having chosen your favourite ingredients, wrap the whole bundle in a slice of prosciutto and griddle – this makes a sandwich worthy of calling lunch.

    Melty cheesey things indeed – my go-to lunch is a toasted sandwich. Good bread and cheese essential…. often add salami… but prosciutto… oooh yes please.

      I love salami in a sandwich, even better cooked and crispy, how about sliding a piece under the prosciutto before final griddle? GG

    I just sliced up homemade prosciutto from a dear friend, and it would go beautifully in this gorgeous sandwich. 🙂
