If you’re looking for a sandwich that packs a punch and satisfies your deli cravings, look no further. This sandwich mixes Spicy Nduja and Prosciutto with the creamy textures of Havarti cheese and a tangy crème fraîche mustard sauce. It’s perfect for a not so average lunch or quick dinner.
Ingredients (for 1 sandwich)
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- Nduja (enough to spread one slice)
- 2-3 Slices of prosciutto or similar cured ham
- 1 leaf baby gem lettuce
- 3 cherry tomatoes, halved
- Crème fraîche and Dijon mustard sauce (mix to taste, seasoned with pepper)
- Pickled red onions
- Slices of Havarti cheese
- Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
Method
- Prepare the Bread:
- Lay out the two slices of sourdough bread. Spread a generous layer of nduja on one slice, as if you’re buttering it, and then cover with slices of Havarti cheese.
- On the other slice, spread the crème fraîche mustard sauce evenly. Top this slice with prosciutto and another layer of Havarti cheese.
- Grill the Sandwich:
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over both slices, then place them under a preheated grill. Grill until the cheese on both slices begins to bubble and turn golden, which should take about 3-5 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Remove the toasted slices from the grill. On the slice with nduja and cheese, layer the lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and pickled red onions.
- Carefully place the other slice (with prosciutto and cheese) on top, cheese side down, to complete the sandwich.
- Serve:
- Cut the sandwich in half to reveal the layered ingredients and serve immediately. The combination of spicy nduja, salty prosciutto, and tangy sauce makes this sandwich irresistibly delicious.
