Mozzarella, Basil & Prosciutto Grilled Cheese with Lemon Arugula SaladMozzarella, Basil & Prosciutto Grilled Cheese with Lemon Arugula Salad — a 25-minute dinner recipe with 12 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ (142 g) pkg baby arugula

3 small pkgs fresh basil

3 lemons

1 ½ (227 g) blocks mozzarella cheese

43 g Parmesan cheese

18 slices prosciutto

12 slices whole grain bread

butter, unsalted

extra virgin olive oil

honey

salt

white wine vinegar

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the arugula if it came pre-washed.)

Thinly slice the mozzarella.

Pick basil leaves off the stems.

Preheat a grill pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Place the bread slices on a flat surface. Evenly top half of the slices with the prosciutto, basil leaves, and sliced mozzarella. Cover the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices.

Coat the grill pan or skillet with butter.

Cooking in batches if necessary, place the sandwiches in the pan and cook until the bottom is golden brown, 2-4 minutes.

Remove the sandwiches to a plate and add more butter to the pan; return the sandwiches to the pan, browned-side-up, and cook until golden brown on the other side and the cheese is melted, 2-4 minutes. Once done, transfer to a cutting board.

While the sandwiches toast, juice the lemons into a large bowl. Whisk in the vinegar, oil, salt, and honey.

Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmesan into strips.

Add the arugula and shaved Parmesan to the bowl with the dressing and toss to combine.

Cut the sandwiches in half on the diagonal.

To serve, divide the salad and sandwiches between plates. Enjoy!
