I have this adorable granddaughter who loves grilled cheese sandwiches. She has them for breakfast. Every time I visit her I try to conjure up a new grilled cheese for her to try out. This one put a big smile on her face! It is made with artisan whole grain bread, raclette cheese, and toasted prosciutto. This sandwich is a perfect blend of flavors. The nutty and earthy flavor of whole grain bread complements the rich, creamy, and slightly smoky flavor of raclette cheese. The toasted prosciutto compliments the artisan bread by adding a crisp salty texture. Serve with a salad or a side of fruit. Let me know how you like it!
Tips For an Evenly Well-Toasted Grilled Cheese.
- Put sufficient butter in every crevice of the bread -even the edges. Butter is your friend when making a crisp golden grilled cheese.
- Cook with medium heat in a heavy cast iron skillet that is properly heated. To heat the cast iron pan properly, heat slowly on medium heat for at least five minutes. Your pan is ready when hot water droplets put in the pan sizzle in little balls.
- Flip the grilled cheese over from time to time so that it browns evenly until you get the desired golden brown crust.
