How to make
- Step 1Prepare filling: Stir together Cheddar, mascarpone, jelly, mustard and pepper in bowl until combined.
- Step 2Assemble sandwiches: Arrange bread on cutting board; spread filling over top in thin even layer. Cut 1 bread slice in half crosswise. Arrange prosciutto over half of the bread (2 long bread slices and 1 half slice) in single layer, cutting to fit. Sandwich with remaining bread, cheese side down, pressing gently to adhere. Cut sandwiches into 20 evenly sized squares. Place on baking sheet.
- Step 3Beat together eggs, pinch salt and pepper in shallow dish until combined. Place panko in separate shallow dish. Working with 1 at a time, dip sandwiches in egg, letting excess drip back into dish; press into panko, turning to coat. Return sandwiches to baking sheet. Discard remaining egg and panko. Refrigerate sandwiches until chilled, about 15 minutes.
- Step 4Meanwhile, add enough oil to large deep skillet to come 1/2 inch (1 cm) up side; heat over medium-low heat until deep-fryer thermometer reads 325°F (160°C). Cook sage, stirring gently, until crisp and oil no longer forms bubbles around leaves, about 1 minute. Transfer with slotted spoon to paper towel–lined plate to drain; sprinkle with remaining pinch salt. Set sage aside.
- Step 5Increase heat to medium; heat until deep-fryer thermometer reads 350°F (180°C). Working in batches, cook sandwiches, flipping once, until golden and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to separate paper towel–lined plate to drain.
- Step 6Arrange sandwiches on serving platter in single layer; top each with 1/4 tsp jelly and 1 sage leaf.
