Many think of grilled cheese as a kids meal. However, this gluten free prosciutto grilled cheese sandwich is especially made for grown ups.
This recipe makes two sandwiches. The bread I used is gluten and yeast free from Sami’s Bakery to fit my diet. First I brushed olive oil on one side of each slice of bread. You can substitute the olive oil with butter if you prefer. Then I slathered the other side with basil pesto.
Slice the goat brie into slices and cover the pesto on two slices of bread. Add a slice of prosciutto on top of the brie. Add a slice of tomato, then top with remaining two slices of bread pesto side down. Cook sandwiches in cast iron skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side. Enjoy!
