Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 ounces Fontina cheese
- 4 slices Prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 handful Arugula (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Lay out the slices of sourdough bread on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of each slice.
Step 2
Slice the Fontina cheese into thin pieces, if not pre-sliced.
Step 3
On two slices of bread, layer the Fontina cheese and then lay two slices of prosciutto over each. If using arugula, place a small handful over the prosciutto.
Step 4
Top each prepared slice with the remaining bread slices, mustard-side down, to form two sandwiches.
Step 5
Spread a thin, even layer of butter on the outside of each sandwich, covering both the top and bottom slices of bread.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 7
Place the sandwiches onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crunchy.
Step 8
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is evenly toasted.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half and serving warm.
