Grilled Cheese with Prosciutto and Pickle

grilledcheesehampickleSmear the bread with mayo on both sides and then grill in butter for the ultimate golden-brown crunch.

8 slices sourdough or white bread
¼ cup mayonnaise
1½ cups mozzarella, grated
1½ cups Gruyère, grated
½ cup aged goat cheese, grated
¾ cup bread and butter pickles
3 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
6 Tbsp. (¾ stick) unsalted butter

Smear both sides of bread slices with mayonnaise. Combine cheeses in a bowl. Sprinkle 4 slices bread with half of cheese mixture, dividing equally. Top each with 3-4 pickles. Divide prosciutto among sandwiches; top with remaining cheese. Cover with remaining bread.

Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in each of 2 large heavy skillets over medium-low heat. Add 2 sandwiches to each skillet and cook until bread is golden, 9-10 minutes. Add 1 Tbsp. butter to each skillet, flip sandwiches, and cook until bread is golden and cheese is melted, 9-10 minutes longer.

Makes 4 servings.
