Green Eggs and Ham Grilled Cheese
We’ve updated and interpreted green eggs and ham for a more adult palate: specifically, a cured Italian ham, bright green pesto, crunchy arugula, and smooth white cheddar.
Servings: 2 sandwiches
Calories: 883kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons pesto
- 4 slices white bread
- 8 slices white cheddar cheese
- 8 slices cured ham (such as copa, prosciutto, or Serrano ham)
- 1 cup arugula
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Crack the egg into the pan, and cook sunny-side up. Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. Spread pesto on both slices of bread and place them in the pan, pesto-side up. Add 2 slices of cheese to each piece of Cobblestone bread, followed by half of the prosciutto, and half of the arugula.
- Lay the egg on top, and fold the two halves of bread together to make a sandwich. Grill until the cheese is melted, flipping once, being careful not to break the egg yolk. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients to make the second sandwich. Slice each sandwich in half with a serrated knife, and serve!
