Grilled Prosciutto-Cheddar Sandwiches with Onion Jam image

April is National Grilled Cheese Month, honoring the gooey greatness of toasted bread and melted cheese. The modern version may have started in the 1920s, when sliced bread and American cheese became available. For a modern version full of comfy farmhouse flavors, use raisin bread with onion jam, prosciutto and cheddar. -Susan Andrichuk, New York, New York

Overall, I thought these sandwiches were pretty good. They're a bit time-consuming to make, but they're worth the effort.

These sandwiches were a bit too greasy for my liking. I think I'll try grilling the prosciutto next time instead of frying it.

I followed the recipe exactly but my onion jam turned out too sweet. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These sandwiches were a little too salty for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a salty prosciutto. Next time I'll use a milder one.

I'm not a huge fan of prosciutto, but I really enjoyed these sandwiches. The onion jam was the perfect complement.
