Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Butter one side of each bread slice with the 1 tbsp butter. Place the bread buttered-side down on a cutting board.

  2. Step 2

    Layer the 4 prosciutto slices evenly on one slice of bread, folding to fit.

  3. Step 3

    Top the prosciutto with the 2 oz cheese, spreading it to cover the meat.

  4. Step 4

    Scatter the 1 tbsp chives and 4 mint leaves over the cheese.

  5. Step 5

    Place the second bread slice on top, buttered-side up.

  6. Step 6

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side.

  7. Step 7

    Press gently with a spatula while cooking to help the cheese melt. Remove from heat when the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.

  8. Step 8

    Let the sandwich rest for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
