This Italian Croque-Monsieur brings together the best of both worlds: the comfort and crispiness of a classic grilled sandwich and the vibrant, fresh flavors of Italian cuisine. The pesto adds a punch of herbal brightness, the mozzarella brings creaminess, and the prosciutto gives it a salty bite that ties everything together beautifully.
Whether you’re entertaining guests or treating yourself, this sandwich is proof that a few good ingredients can go a long way.
Tips and Variations
Vegetarian Version: Skip the prosciutto and add grilled zucchini or eggplant for a hearty meat-free option.
Cheese Swap: Try provolone or fontina for a different cheese profile.
Make It Spicy: Add a few chili flakes to the pesto or a layer of spicy Calabrian chili paste.
