Preparation

Step 1

Lightly toss the cheeses and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Put 4 slices of the bread on a work surface and evenly distribute half of the cheese mixture on top. Put 2 pieces of prosciutto (1 full slice) on each sandwich and top with 2 to 3 slices of tomato - enough to cover the cheese and prosciutto. Salt the tomato slices. Add remaining cheese. Top with other slices of bread, butter on both outsides and grill until golden brown (press with spatula while grilling).
