Fresh Mozzarella, Prosciutto and Fig Jam Grilled Cheese
From Marlena Spieler’s Grilled Cheese: 50 Recipes to Make You Melt
4 Soft French or Italian Rolls
10 - 12 oz fresh sliced mozzarella thickly sliced
8 ounces prociutto , thinly sliced
1/4 - 1/2 fig jam or fig preserves to taste
Soft butter for spreading on the roll
……………………………………………………………………………………..
1. Split each roll, and layer with the mozzarella and prosciutto. Spread the top slices with the fig jam and then close up.
2. Lightly butter the outside of each sandwich.
3. Heat a heavy nonstick skillet or pannini press over medium - high heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan, working in two batches depending on the size of the pan. Press the sandwiches or close the grill and brown, turning once or twice, untill the bread is crisp and the cheese has melted. though the rolls start off as round, once pressed they are considerably flatter and can easily be turned.
4. Serve right away, cut on the diagonal.
