I’m grilling a Prosciutto, Swiss and Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich with a Buzz Savories Honey Mustard Dressing. I will serve it hot and accompanied by fruit on a skewer and a bowl of chili or wild rice soup or Campbell’s Chicken Noodle.
In the basement of my mother’s house in Holdrege, I discovered this ancient grill, probably circa. 1950-(a time in history when G.E. made appliances). And in perfect working order.
Before this griddle reappeared in my life, I grilled in a sturdy stainless steel skillet or a panini grill. Press the sandwich as it grills with a spatula.
Arugula grows like a wild thing in my backyard garden. Note: Peppery flavor and lots of crunch- I’m learning to prefer Arugula’s spice in a sandwich and a salad.

Prosciutto, Swiss, and Apple Grilled Cheese
Equipment

What You'll Need:
- 1 Tb. Spicy Beer Mustard Mustard or Buzz Savories Honey Mustard (if using the honey mustard, skip the additional honey in the recipe)
