Lisas Provolone and Proscuitto melt with rosemary carmelized onions Recipe lpatrin - Italian

Method

• Cut 8 slices of bread with a serrated knife ( each slice should be about 1/4 inch thick) and set aside.
• Reserve remaining bread for another use ( or for more sandwiches tomorrow )
• Melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 of the stick) of the unsalted butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat
• Add the brown sugar and stir into the butter until incorporated
• Add the sliced onions to the pan and saute until the onions become caramelized and golden brown in color, approximately 20-25 minutes.
• Stir in chopped rosemary and remove from heat.
• Spread remaining softened butter on one side of each slice of bread
• Heat a grill pan (or flat griddle pan) over medium high heat
• Place bread slices butter side down on a platter.
• Layer 3-4 slices of proscuitto on top of 4 of the 8 bread slices, top generously with caramelized onion mixture.
• Place one slice of Provolone cheese on top of the onion mixture.
• Top with another slice of bread, butter side up.
• Do this with all 4 sandwiches.
• Place sandwiches on the grill pan 2 at a time (due to the large size of the sandwiches).
• Cook on first side until the underside is golden in color, approx.
• 5 minutes.
• Turn and cook on the remaining side until it is also golden and the cheese is melted.
• Serve warm.
• I suggest serving a nice Italian red wine with this, it turns it into a quick and easy comfort meal.
