Grilled Fontina With Prosciutto and Melon

"Use very ripe melon. A couple of small pieces won't make your sandwich wet. The Parmigianno is optional, as it may unbalance the sandwich towards saltiness, depending on the saltiness of your Fontina and the sweetness of your melon.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
