What is prosciutto and how is it made?
Prosciutto is simply Italian for ham. However, it is not our typical take on ham. Prosciutto is made from high quality pork. The meat is covered in salt and seasoning of choice. Where it then is left to rest to draw out what it needs to in order to prevent bacteria from impacting the meat. Therefore you can eat it raw!
However if I am going to eat any meat especially ones raw, I need to know it is a brand I can trust. That is why I turto Colameco’s for all my natural dried Italian meats

Easy Grilled Cheese Prosciutto Dippers
Ingredients:
- 6 pieces of French Bread
- 6 slices of Colameco’s Prosciutto
- 3 slices of Cheddar Cheese ( cut into 6 strips, the width of the French bread)
- 3 slices of Smoked Gouda (cut into 6 strips, the width of the French bread)
- 1/4-1/3 cup of diced tomatoes
- Spreadable butter
Directions:
- Cut the crust off the length sides of your French Bread. Then cut your French bread slices in half. Butter 1 side of each of those slices and set aside
- Take 1 slice of prosciutto at a time and slice it with a very sharp knife down the center length wise, to create two long strips. You want to use a very sharp knife since prosciutto is fragile. This way it will cut perfectly down the center without ripping
- Space the two strips out about 1/4 centimeter, so there is a bit of a gap as seen above, then place the strip of French bread butter side down in the center of the two strips.
- Then place a strip of cheddar cheese on top of the French bread, then a few pieces of diced tomatoes, followed by a strip of smoked gouda, followed by the second strip of French bread with butter side up.
- Lastly begin to wrap the excess prosciutto strips on the side around the grilled cheese sandwich until it is nice and wrapped tight. Tuck the prosciutto strips under each other if necessary. Repeat for all Easy Grilled Cheese Prosciutto Dippers
- Place 1 tbsp of butter in frying pan on medium heat, let it heat for 1 minute. Then add your Easy Grilled Cheese Prosciutto Dippers cook 4 minutes on the first side, then flip on the long edge for 1 minute, next you will flip it on the back side for 2 more minutes and then the other long edge for 1 more minute. Repeat until all are cooked
