Ham, Melted Brie, Crispy Prosciutto Sandwich with Basil Aioli is a blend of textures and flavors that will tantalize the taste buds. | HostessAtHeart.comA very special name for a very special sandwich.  Ham, Melted Brie, Crispy Prosciutto Sandwich with Basil Aioli is a blend of textures and flavors that will tantalize the taste buds.  This sandwich tastes like it belongs in a 4-star restaurant but can be put together with just 6 ingredients and 10 minutes.

Ham, Melted Brie, Crispy Prosciutto Sandwich with Basil Aioli is a blend of textures and flavors that will tantalize the taste buds. | HostessAtHeart.comA great sandwich doesn’t have to be difficult to make with a million ingredients and a ton of techniques but it doesn’t hurt if that’s what the people eating it think.  They just have to have top notch ingredients exactly like this Ham, Melted Brie, Crispy Prosciutto Sandwich with Basil Aioli.

Ham, Melted Brie, Crispy Prosciutto Sandwich with Basil Aioli is a blend of textures and flavors that will tantalize the taste buds. | HostessAtHeart.comI think my appetite has seasons.  When the worst of winter is over, I start looking forward to meals that we can take outside in the sunshine or enjoy with a nice salad or piece of fruit.  My comfort food leads way to fresh lighter fare.  Even though you could make and enjoy this sandwich any time of year, the freshness of the basil with all of the other ingredients just make me look forward to warmer days.

Melted Brie, Crispy Prosciutto Sandwich with Basil Aioli is a blend of textures and flavors that will tantalize the taste buds. | HostessAtHeart.comI haven’t always been a sandwich person.  It’s because the sandwiches that I grew up with started with bread that stuck to the roof of your mouth and were too dry to swallow.  You know that I love baking bread, but like everyone else don’t always have the time.  That’s when I reach for Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse™ Hearty Sourdough bread.  John loves sourdough and I love that they are big and soft and made with wholesome flavorful ingredients just like my homemade bread is. I also love that this isn’t a bread that falls apart as soon as you load it with your other ingredients!Ham, Melted Brie, Crispy Prosciutto Sandwich with Basil Aioli is a blend of textures and flavors that will tantalize the taste buds. | HostessAtHeart.com

One of the star ingredients of this sandwich is Hillshire Farm® Thin Sliced Honey Ham lunchmeat.  This ham provides a sweetness that is a nice contrast to the sourdough flavor of the bread and the saltiness of the crispy prosciutto.  I love that Hillshire Farm® Thin Sliced Honey Ham comes in a resealable container that keeps it fresh and protects it from getting torn up or crushed so every last bit of it gets used.Ham, Melted Brie, Crispy Prosciutto Sandwich with Basil Aioli is a blend of textures and flavors that will tantalize the taste buds. | HostessAtHeart.com

This whole sandwich is taken up a notch with the Basil Aioli.  That sounds pretty fancy, doesn’t it?  It is actually very quick and easy to put together.  I blended fresh basil right into Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise which made a creamy delicious aioli that transformed this sandwich.  You can taste the freshness of the ingredients that Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise uses and I love the squeezable bottle that assures that I can use every last drop.

Ham, Melted Brie, Crispy Prosciutto Sandwich with Basil Aioli is a blend of textures and flavors that will tantalize the taste buds. | HostessAtHeart.comThis sandwich is sweet, salty, creamy, crunchy, and elevated with the flavors of basil and sourdough.  I can’t think of a thing that I would do differently next time I make this sandwich!  Ham, Melted Brie, Crispy Prosciutto Sandwich with Basil Aioli is a blend of textures and flavors that will tantalize the taste buds. | HostessAtHeart.com

    I love the idea of basil in the aoli for a new twist on my sandwich…. I usually put tarragon in in mine, but have so much fresh basil at the moment I cant believe I hadn’t tried that. I use Hilshire Farms Ham often, because its such a healthy option to have in the house…. pairing it with prosciutto and aoli is a grand slam of a sandwich.,..

      Thank you, Michele! Not having a ton of sweet basil is one of the reasons this climate drives me nuts. I wish we had it year around. Tarragon would be amazing too! I love it and just don’t use it enough. I really liked the Hilshire Farms Ham and have kept it on hand ever since. I’ll definitely be making this sammie again.

    You are speaking to my heart with this sandwich! I am such a fan of brie, especially when it’s all indulgently melty as in your photos. The basil aioli must be such a lovely flavor pairing with the ham, prosciutto, and cheese. Now we all know what I’m having for lunch tomorrow! 🙂

    Sweet, salty, and with a basil aioli? I’m in! Now if I couldn’t get a hold of fresh basil what’s the substitution for dried?

    Reply
    • Julie Menghini says

      April 2, 2017 at 4:23 pm

      Thanks Matt! If I couldn’t get fresh basil I don’t think I would use dried. You could use fresh tarragon which would be very good too. If you just don’t have a lot of fresh options, I would use a dried Italian or herb de province. Probably 1/2 teaspoon.
