The tomato jam makes this sandwich: Its honey and vinegar give it sweetness and bite! —Elliot

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1/2 canned San Marzano tomato, diced
1/8 cup chopped red onion
1/2 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey
8 pieces whole-grain bread
2 cups shredded lowfat cheddar, divided
8 slices prosciutto
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 350°F. In a small pot over medium heat, cook tomato, onion and garlic until tomato breaks down and resembles jam, 15 minutes.

    Step 2

    Add vinegar and honey; cook until jam thickens, 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper; remove from heat.

    Step 3

    On a cookie sheet, arrange bread in a single layer. Top each slice with 1/4 cup cheese and 1 slice prosciutto; bake until cheese melts, 3 minutes.

    Step 4

    Divide tomato jam among 4 sandwich halves; top with remaining sandwich halves.

    Step 5

    In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Cook one sandwich, flipping once, 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and sandwiches.
