Cantaloupe with a little salt sprinkled on it…such a tasty snack, right? Salt brings out the flavor in cantaloupe (and several other fruits!) and that’s how many of us have been eating it for years. But somehow the first time I saw melon and prosciutto together, I thought it sounded so strange to combine these two foods. Well, it is, of course, a genius combination. And then recently Andy and I bought some asiago cheese and read that it goes well with cantaloupe. So the idea for the asiago, prosciutto, and melon grilled cheese sandwich recipe was born.More

Andy and I travel a lot, and while on a trip to Italy on a food tour in Rome, one of the cheeses we got to try in a cheese shop was scamorza. It has a smoky flavor, and it quickly became one of Andy’s favorites. When we started making lots of grilled cheese sandwiches, he tried it out with some prosciutto ham, and it’s a good combo.

Who doesn’t love pepperoni pizza, right? Well, I decided to swap out the pizza dough and use bread instead, and you know, it makes a pretty tasty pepperoni pizza grilled cheese sandwich.

But if it’s not really pizza, but a grilled cheese sandwich instead, I can enjoy that pepperoni pizza taste without the hassle of making the dough. Here’s my pepperoni pizza grilled cheese sandwich recipe.More
