Toasted Prosciutto, Cheddar, and Apple Sandwich

CHEDDAR CHEESE AND APPLES are a classic American pairing, and a little prosciutto elevates a simple grilled cheese sandwich to a satisfying midday meal. In this sandwich we use nitrate-free prosciutto, which is available in most specialty stores.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

8 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
4 teaspoons honey
8 ounces aged Cheddar, cut into 8 thin slices
8 slices hearty artisanal white bread
4 thin slices prosciutto (about 2 ounces)
1/2 Fuji apple or other sweet apple, cut into 8 thin slices
Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, combine the mustard and honey. Set aside.

    Step 2

    To assemble the sandwiches, lay 1 slice of cheese on each of 4 slices of the bread. On top of each cheese slice, layer 1 slice prosciutto, 2 slices apple, and 1 more slice cheese. Grind pepper on top of the cheese, if desired.

    Step 3

    Spread 1 tablespoon of the honey mustard on each of the remaining 4 slices of bread and lay them, honey-mustard side down, on top of the cheese slices.

    Step 4

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat and put the sandwiches in the pan. Cook until the cheese has melted and the bread is golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve warm.
