Description

The perfect grilled cheese combination of salty (from the prosciutto), spicy-sweet (from the pepper jelly) and creamy from all the cheese!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices good-quality sandwich bread
  • 2 tablespoons quark cheese
  • 2 tablespoons pepper jelly, homemade or store-bought
  • 2 ounces aged gouda (not smoked), coarsely grated
  • 2 ounces white cheddar, coarsely grated
  • 6 chives, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup prosciutto, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Preheat a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium to medium-low heat for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Spread 1 tablespoon of pepper jelly on one slice of bread and 1 tablespoon of quark on the other slice.  Sprinkle the chives and prosciutto crumbles over one side of the bread-it should stick well to either of the spreads. Cover the prosciutto with half of the cheeses and press the two sides together.  Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over the outside of each sandwich.  Repeat with the remaining two slices of bread.
  3. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.  You can always throw the sandwiches in a 350°oven for 5 to 7 minutes to help melt the cheese-it’s better to have a golden-brown crust and unmelted cheese over burnt bread and melted cheese!
