Ingredients

  • 8 slice country bread, cut 1/4 inch thick
  • 4 tablespoon prepared truffle butter or sweet butter
  • 1 pound thinly sliced fontina cheese
  • 6 ounce prosciutto or other sliced cured ham
  • 4 ounce extra-large eggs
  • 6 tablespoon butter

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Then:1. Spread a thin layer of truffle butter on one side of bread, layer in 2 slices Fontina, 1 slice prosciutto, 2 slices Fontina and top with another piece of country bread that has truffle butter on one side, laying the truffle butter on to the layered cheese.

Repeat for the remaining bread, cheese and prosciutto until you have 4 sandwiches ready to toast.

2.

Lightly brush the outside of the prepared cheese sandwiches with sweet butter, heat a non-stick pan and put a sandwich in the hot pan, toasting the outside of the bread to a golden brown before flipping to repeat on the second side.

Do this for all 4 cheese sandwiches, placing the toasted sandwiches onto a cookie sheet or other baking sheet before putting the sandwiches into the oven to finish melting the cheese — approximately 5 minutes.

3.

When the sandwiches are about to come out of the oven, begin frying sunnyside-up eggs in butter.

One egg per sandwich, to be placed on top of the knife and fork, grilled cheese sandwich as it’s about to be served.
