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
