Ingredients
- 4 slices gluten free bread
- 1 ripe persimmon, sliced
- 4 ounces goat cheddar cheese
- 4 slices prosciutto
- Butter for grilling
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 slices of gluten-free bread, 1 ripe persimmon sliced into thin rounds, 4 ounces of goat cheddar cheese, 4 slices of prosciutto, and butter for grilling.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. This will ensure an even cooking temperature for your grilled cheese.
- While the skillet is heating, spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of gluten-free bread. Make sure the butter is evenly distributed to achieve a golden brown crust.
- On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, layer the goat cheddar cheese generously, followed by the sliced persimmons and prosciutto. Ensure the cheese is on the bottom to help it melt properly.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out, creating two sandwiches.
- Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
- Using a spatula, gently flip the sandwiches over and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, or until it is also golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Once both sides are perfectly grilled, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. This will help the cheese set slightly, making it easier to cut.
- Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately, enjoying the delightful combination of flavors from the sweet persimmons, savory prosciutto, and creamy goat cheddar.
Tips
- Choose a ripe persimmon that's soft but not mushy for the best flavor and texture.
- Use room temperature butter for more even spreading on your bread.
- Keep your skillet heat at medium to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
- Press down gently with a spatula while grilling to ensure even browning and cheese melting.
- Let the sandwich rest for a minute after cooking to allow the cheese to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- For extra crispiness, you can use a sandwich press or weighted pan to create a perfect golden crust.
- Experiment with different gluten-free bread types to find your favorite texture and flavor profile.
