Mediterranean Grilled Cheese with Prosciutto, Artichokes, and Tomatoes
with balsamic roasted broccoli
We haven't done a grilled cheese in awhile, and this one is Mediterranean inspired for sophisticated flavor but still with oozing cheesy goodness.
Smarts: Looking to save some calories? Skip the butter and halve the cheese and bread by making this an open-faced melt. Just assemble with cheese on top and place under a broiler for 4 to 6 minutes, until cheese is bubbling.

Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C. Toss broccoli with red pepper flakes, balsamic vinegar, cooking oil, and some salt and pepper. Spread out onto a sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes, shaking once and rotating pan midway through.
- While broccoli roasts, assemble and cook grilled cheese sandwiches. Butter one side of each piece of bread with about 1/2 Tbsp / 7 g of butter each. Lay out bread buttered-side down. Layer with cheese, prosciutto, tomatoes, artichokes, another slice of cheese and top with bread, buttered-side up. Continue until all sandwiches are made. (If you want to do lower cal, skip the butter and halve the cheese and bread by doing open-face melts. Layer bread with prosciutto, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and cheese. Place under a broiler for 4 to 6 minutes, until cheese is bubbly.)
- Heat up a griddle or a skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches onto heated surface (as many as can fit) and press down throughout the grilling process with a spatula. Flip once the first side is golden, ~ 3 to 4 minutes.
- Finish roasted broccoli with lemon juice and some salt and pepper. Enjoy with your hot, melted grilled cheese sandwiches!
