How to Make The Ultimate Summer Sandwich

  1. Spread 2 tablespoons of pesto on one side of each of two bread slices.
  2. Top each pesto-spread slice with 2 slices of Taleggio cheese, half of the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and half of the arugula.
  3. Top with the remaining bread slices and gently press down to create a sandwich.
  4. Wrap 4 slices of prosciutto around each sandwich.
  5. In a shallow dish, beat the egg. Dip each sandwich into the egg, ensuring both sides are coated. Let sit for 2-3 minutes per side to allow the egg to absorb.
  6. Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Carefully place the sandwiches in the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until the prosciutto is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  7. Remove sandwiches from the pan and place on a wire rack or paper towel to drain excess oil.
  8. Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy with extra napkins!
