Sauteed Apple, Prosciutto and Original Blue Grilled Cheese

Sauteed Apple, Prosciutto and Original Blue Grilled Cheese

Servings: 4 sandwiches


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 red skinned apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • Salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, minced
  • 8 slices sourdough bread (whole grain or wheat would work well, too)
  • 8-10 slices prosciutto
  • 3 ounces Point Reyes Toma, shredded
  • 3 ounces Point Reyes Original Blue

Instructions

  1. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter.  Add apples and a pinch of salt.  Sauté apples, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften, 3-5 minutes.  Remove from heat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine softened butter and thyme.  Butter the outside of each slice of bread equally.  Place bread slices, buttered-side-down, on work surface.  Top four slices with equal amounts of prosciutto, apples, Toma and Original Blue.  Top with remaining bread slices so the buttered side is up. 
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sandwiches, working in batches as needed, until bread is golden and cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. 
  4. Let sit just a few minutes before eating.
