A riff on a BLT, but instead is layered with juice watermelon, crispy prosciutto and salty grilled halloumi cheese for the perfect summer sandwich
Ingredients
8 slices of prosciutto
⅓ cup light mayo
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 small watermelon (you will have leftovers)
½ pound halloumi cheese1/2 cup arugula
4 slices good-quality multi-grain brain, toasted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place prosciutto on a baking in one single layer. Bake until crispy, about 8 minutes. Be sure to watch carefully as it has a tendency to burn.
In a small bowl, combine mayo, zest and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Cut watermelon into ½ inch slices, make the pieces large enough to fit onto the bread in one single layer.
Cut halloumi cheese into horizontal slices. Heat a medium non-stick pan to a medium heat. Add cheese, cook until golden brown on each side, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Spread bread with mayo. Top with seared halloumi cheese, followed by watermelon, then arugula and finally the prosciutto.
