(prosciutto, lettuce, and tomato)

I’ll let Amanda take it from here…

Hi everyone at What’s Cooking with Ruthie!!! It’s Amanda from High Heels to Hot Wheels.

Thanks for having me back and HAPPY SUMMER!!!! While my container gardens continue to grow, I have been making weekly trips to the Nashville Farmer’s Market for some of the freshest local produce. I recently picked up some crisp Romaine lettuce and ripe tomatoes and then headed over to Whole Foods for a few more ingredients to create a tasty spin on the summer favorite BLT sandwich.

Who doesn’t love bacon, but I have been kind of hooked on prosciutto lately and not being a big fan of mayonnaise, creamy Gorgonzola helped switch it up just a bit.

Modern take on an old favorite

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 slices honey wheat bread
  • 16 slices prosciutto, about 8 ounces
  • 2-3 ounces dreamy Gorgonzola cheese
  • 1-2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • Romaine lettuce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out prosciutto slices on paper. Bake until the fatty part is golden and the meat is darker.
  3. This will take about 13-15 minutes depending on oven.
  4. Rotate baking sheet halfway through cooking.
  5. Transfer prosciutto to a paper towel.
  6. As they sit they will crisp even more.
  7. Lightly butter bread and toast or grill for a crunchier bread.
  8. Spread creamy Gorgonzola on one side of the bread.
  9. Add crispy prosciutto, tomato and lettuce.

Thanks for having me back again this month and I look forward to sharing more fresh summer fare with you next month. If this PLT sandwich gave you a hankering for prosciutto, you might like a few more prosciutto-inspired recipes. Happy cooking, y’all!
