Tomato-Prosciutto Grilled Cheese Recipe

Tomato-Prosciutto Grilled Cheese Recipe

  • 1/2 canned San Marzano tomato, diced
  • 1/8 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 8 pieces whole-grain bread
  • 2 cups shredded lowfat cheddar, divided
  • 8 slices prosciutto
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  1. Heat oven to 350°F. In a small pot over medium heat, cook tomato, onion and garlic until tomato breaks down and resembles jam, 15 minutes.
  2. Add vinegar and honey; cook until jam thickens, 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper; remove from heat.
  3. On a cookie sheet, arrange bread in a single layer. Top each slice with 1/4 cup cheese and 1 slice prosciutto; bake until cheese melts, 3 minutes.
  4. Divide tomato jam among 4 sandwich halves; top with remaining sandwich halves.
  5. In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Cook one sandwich, flipping once, 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and sandwiches.
