Make

  1. Butter one side of all slices of bread. Lay out bread on a sheet pan or cutting board, buttered-side down.

  2. Spread half the slices of bread with mustard (portion for grilled cheese) and then top with cheese, prosciutto, tomatoes, artichoke-caper mixture, and another slice of cheese. Place another slice of bread on top, buttered side up.

  3. Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches onto heated surface and cook on both sides until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, pressing down gently throughout the grilling process. It should take 4 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the heat of the pan.

  4. Toss mixed greens, grapes, and pistachios in vinaigrette until dressed to your liking.

  5. Serve sandwiches with salad on the side. Enjoy!
