And we're back with another ooey gooey handheld mess of protein and carbs. Yes, folks, more grilled cheese. But you were expecting it, right? Today's feature is delightfully flavorful proscuitto complemented by high quality Havarti and marinated roasted red peppers on thinly sliced whole wheat baguette. Go make one now, how can you not after that description?I got all the ingredients from a gem in Baltimore called Trinacria. They have everything Italian with good, cheap wine and a heavenly smell that hits you when you walk in the door. Their deli serves hot and cold sandwiches that are humongous. There are tons of different pastas, cookies, sauces, frozen raviolis, wines, and jarred this and that to choose from. I like their Havarti a lot. It has little holes in it, kind of like swiss cheese, but the flavor is closer to a very interesting mild cheddar. Perfect with proscuitto, which really goes a long way in this sandwich. Since proscuitto is just so flavorful, you only need one thin slice torn up for your grilled cheese. I paired this sandwich with a simple salad of greens and homemade lemon vinaigrette. Enjoy!
