Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (thick slices, such as sourdough or brioche)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (sharp, shredded or sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 slices Crispy prosciutto or bacon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt flakes
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly, using 1 tablespoon of butter per slice.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, into the preheated skillet.
Layer with half of the shredded or sliced cheddar cheese.
Drizzle the honey over the cheese, ensuring even coverage.
Add the crispy prosciutto or bacon slices on top of the honey layer.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes for a salty contrast to the sweetness.
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese, followed by the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Flip the sandwich carefully using the spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is golden brown on both sides.
Remove from the skillet and allow to cool for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and cheesy goodness!
