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.

While some people may think that is too long to ...

American pokeweed

American pokeweed  American pokeweed is a perennial, and it's commonly known as a survivalist plant. The plant is often referred to as poke salad, poke sallet, pokeweed, poke, among a few others. During the first days of spring, purplish shoots of pokeweed emerge from the soil. The plant will often pop up as a volunteer, and depending on the location, pokeweed can grow anywhere from 6 feet to 20 feet tall. The stalks and stems of pokeweed are an attractive purplish plum color. The leaves are a beautiful green color, and they can grow as big as 14 inches long by 7 to 8 inches wide. The plant's leaves will be tapered at each end. By summer, pokeweed begins producing long clusters of green and white flowers. The flowers turn into green berries that then transition from a light pink to a dark plum color. Pokeweed grows flowers and berries often at the same time and will continue to grow until the first frost. I have never pulled a pokeweed plant up from its roots, but I...

Vegetables that contain protein

Vegetables that contain protein If food prices have you scrambling down the aisles of the grocery store trying to find something that's more affordable than meat but still has protein, know that you're not alone! Back in the days when my grandparents went through the Great Depression, it was really tough times, but they survived through the hardships by growing their own food. There are a lot of veggies that actually do contain protein, and they're packed full of additional nutrients that our bodies all need. Vegetables highest in protein: Vegetables high in protein include artichokes, asparagus, beans, bean sprouts, and beans in general: broccoli, Brussel sprouts, chickpeas, green peas, kale, mushrooms, mustard greens, spinach, sweet corn, and turnip greens. For a few examples: Black beans contain 15 grams of protein in just a 1-cup serving. In fact, a 1/2 cup of cooked beans provides close to 7 grams of protein, which is the same as eating one ounce of meat. As for collar...
