Say cheese with this delicious toasted sandwich recipe inspired by none other than Harry's Bar in Venice.

150g Taleggio or fontina cheese, at room temperature, chopped
150g grated mozzarella
2 tsp Dijon mustard, plus extra to serve
2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 egg yolk
2 tbs double cream
8 slices sourdough or brioche bread
8 thin slices prosciutto, plus extra to serve
2 tbs olive oil
50g unsalted butter

Method

1.

Place bread slices on a clean work surface. Combine Taleggio, mozzarella, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, egg yolk and cream in a bowl. Spread 2 tbs cheese mixture over each slice of bread.
2.

Top 4 of the slices of bread with 2 slices of prosciutto each, then sandwich with remaining bread slices.
3.

In two batches, heat half the oil and butter in a large frypan over medium-high heat. Add 2 sandwiches and cook, turning halfway, for 5 minutes or until bread is golden and cheese has melted.
4.

Keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil, butter and sandwiches. Serve warm with extra mustard and prosciutto.
