Italian Grilled Cheese

Italian Grilled Cheese

Italian grilled cheese is a delightful side dish that pairs perfectly with any pasta or soup. This recipe can be elevated by adding a slice or two of prosciutto, if desired. Today, I chose not to include prosciutto in my sandwiches, as I wanted them to complement the main course rather than overshadow it.

Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of Italian bread

  • 4 teaspoons of softened butter

  • 1 to 2 pinches of Italian seasoning

  • 2 slices of provolone cheese (or white American cheese as a substitute)

Optional ingredients:

  • 2 to 4 slices of prosciutto

  • 1 Roma tomato, sliced

Instructions:

Spread the softened butter on one side of the bread slices.

Heat a skillet and place the buttered side of the bread slices down in the pan.

Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning on the bread slices and top with a slice of provolone cheese or white American cheese. At this point, if you'd like to, add a slice or two of prosciutto, along with a couple of slices of roma tomatoes.

Place a second slice of bread, buttered side up, on top of the cheese.

Cover the skillet and heat the sandwich on low until lightly browned.

Carefully flip the sandwich and toast the other side until golden brown.

Serve and savor the delicious flavors of this Italian grilled cheese.
