Plum Reaper Prosciutto Grilled Cheese

Here’s What You’ll Need:

• 2 slices thick-cut artisanal bread (or bread of choice)
• 2 Tbsp fig jam
• 2 Tbsp Yellowbird Plum Reaper Hot Sauce
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced apple
• 2 slices sharp white cheddar cheese
• 2 slices prosciutto
• 1/4 cup arugula (loosely packed)
• 1/8 cup sliced Vidalia onion
• 1 Tbsp butter, ghee, or mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions: 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and bake prosciutto until crispy, about 10-12 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
2. While prosciutto is baking, caramelize apple and onion slices in a skillet over medium-high heat; set aside once softened and golden.
3. Preheat a clean skillet to medium-high heat for grilling the sandwich.
4. Spread 1 Tbsp fig jam on one side of each bread slice.
5. Drizzle 2 Tbsp Yellowbird Plum Reaper Hot Sauce on top of the fig jam on one or both slices, depending on your preference.
6. Layer the bottom slice with caramelized apple, sharp white cheddar, crispy prosciutto, arugula, and caramelized Vidalia onion.
7. Spread butter, ghee, or mayo on the outside of each bread slice.
8. Lightly oil the skillet, place the sandwich in the pan, and close the lid. Toast 3-5 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
9. Add an extra drizzle of Plum Reaper for extra spicy-sweet goodness.
10. Serve hot and enjoy!
