Cook Time

Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
- 4 slices prosciutto
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1/4 cup plum jam, divided, such as Agrimontana
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and heat for a few seconds. Add the prosciutto and cook, stirring constantly until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer the prosciutto to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Lay the bread on a cutting board and spread the plum jam evenly over all 4 slices. Divide the mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan between two slices. Evenly crumble the crispy prosciutto directly over the cheese on both slices. Top with the remaining two slices of bread that have jam. Spread the butter evenly over the exposed tops of the sandwich. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan and press down to adhere.
- Wipe out the skillet and heat over medium-low. Place the sandwiches, butter-parmesan side down, in the skillet. Top with a slightly smaller lid and press gently. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip, press again, and cook until the second side is golden and the cheese melts, another 4-5 minutes. Remove, let rest for a minute, then cut and serve.

Family absolutely loved these. The plum jam was perfect with the cheeses. We baked the prosciutto til crispy, a perfect solution since we were making so many sandwiches. Made them again the next day, sooo good!
Excellent. Friends raved about it. I’ve made it twice, and actually I thought the 1st was my better effort. I did use different brands of prosciutto. Frying it up in the pan the 2nd prosciutto was somewhat tough and chewy.
Do you recommend a lesser brand when cooking it?
