Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 1 large tomato
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Slice the tomato into thin, even rounds and set aside.
Spread a thin, even layer of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Place two slices of bread, butter-side-down, into the skillet.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese evenly across the bread in the skillet.
Layer 2 slices of prosciutto over the cheese on each piece of bread.
Add tomato slices and 4 fresh basil leaves to each sandwich, then top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, butter-side-up, to close the sandwiches.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and toasted.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the bread is crisp and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from heat and let the sandwiches rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half and serving.
