How did I get this recipe?

I can still remember the exact moment I stumbled upon this recipe for the P.C.D. Sandwich. It was a warm summer day, and I was visiting my dear friend Emily at her beach house. We had spent the morning collecting seashells and soaking up the sun, and now it was time for lunch. Emily suggested we make her famous P.C.D. Sandwiches, a recipe she had learned from her grandmother many years ago.

As we gathered the ingredients – prosciutto, cheddar cheese, and dijon mustard – Emily began to share the story of how this sandwich had become a family favorite. Her grandmother, a gourmet cook with a flair for creativity, had come up with the recipe one day when she was feeling particularly inspired. She combined the salty prosciutto with the sharp cheddar cheese and the tangy dijon mustard, and the result was a sandwich unlike any other.

Emily's grandmother had passed down the recipe to her daughter, who in turn had passed it down to Emily. And now, Emily was sharing it with me. I felt honored to be let in on this family secret, and I couldn't wait to taste the sandwich for myself.

As we assembled the sandwiches, the kitchen filled with the aroma of sizzling prosciutto and melted cheese. I watched as Emily spread a generous layer of dijon mustard on the bread, then layered on the prosciutto and cheese. She popped the sandwiches under the broiler for a few minutes, until the cheese was bubbly and golden brown.

When the sandwiches were done, we each took a bite. The flavors exploded in my mouth – the salty prosciutto, the sharp cheddar, the tangy mustard. It was a perfect combination of flavors and textures, and I knew immediately that this would become a staple in my own cooking repertoire.

After that day, I made P.C.D. Sandwiches often, perfecting the recipe with each batch. I experimented with different types of cheese – gouda, swiss, even blue cheese – but nothing compared to the sharp cheddar that Emily's grandmother had used. I also tried different types of mustard – whole grain, honey, spicy – but the dijon was always the best match for the prosciutto and cheese.

Over the years, I shared the recipe with friends and family, each time adding my own twist to make it my own. Some people added avocado slices, others added arugula or tomato. But no matter how they customized the sandwich, everyone agreed that the original P.C.D. Sandwich was something truly special.

As I grew older, I began to appreciate the tradition and history behind the recipe even more. I thought about Emily's grandmother, standing in her own kitchen all those years ago, creating something new and delicious out of simple ingredients. I thought about the generations of women who had passed down this recipe, each one adding their own touch to make it unique.

And now, as I stand in my own kitchen, making P.C.D. Sandwiches for my grandchildren, I can't help but feel a sense of connection to those who came before me. I am continuing a tradition, passing down a recipe that will hopefully be enjoyed and cherished for years to come.

So whenever I make a P.C.D. Sandwich, I think of Emily and her grandmother, of the beach house and the seashells, of the warm summer day when I first tasted this delicious creation. And I am grateful for the memories and the stories that have been woven into this recipe, making it so much more than just a sandwich. It is a connection to the past, a reminder of the love and creativity that has been passed down through generations. And for that, I am truly grateful.
