With April being national grilled cheese month, I wanted to come up with a sandwich that was both unusual and special. When I told my husband that I was going to make a Prosciutto, Melon & Provolone Grilled Cheese Sandwich, he was less than thrilled...he even said they sounded "gross".

Fast forward to about half an hour after he'd uttered the "g" word while we were sitting down to lunch. I eyed him suspiciously as he bravely started eating.

I waited patiently...."WELL?" I asked. "What do you think???"

"I'm thinking it's a lot better than I thought it was going to be," he said. "I thought the melon would turn into a mushy mess but it actually held its texture better than I thought it was going to." "I like it!" he said. "I think I'll have another." Needless to say, I was a happy camper! 🙂
