Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 head radicchio, cut through the core into 8 wedges
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 1/2-inch slices ciabatta or other good crusty bread
6 thin slices smoked ham
2 to 3 ounces assertive cheese, such as Gorgonzola or Camembert, crumbled or thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Roast the radicchio:
  • Heat the oven to 350°F. Lay the wedges of radicchio on a small sheet pan and drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and cover the pan with aluminum foil. (Covering the pan allows the radicchio to steam and roast at the same time.) Cook until very tender and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. (The radicchio can be roasted a day ahead.)
  • Grill the panini:
  • Heat a panini or sandwich grill until hot (400°F to 450°F). If you don't have a panini grill, heat a grill pan or ¬cast-¬iron pan over ¬medium--low heat. Pat the radicchio dry, if need be, and cut away any tough core. Make two sandwiches, layering the ham, cheese, and radicchio. (You may not use all of the radicchio.)
  • Brush the outsides of the sandwiches with olive oil and grill in the press for 9 to 10 minutes; you want to crisp and brown the bread and melt the cheese a bit, but the meat need not be excessively hot. If using a pan, weight the sandwiches down with another heavy pan set on top. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, watching them carefully and adjusting the heat as needed. Cut and serve.

This panini was just okay. The flavors were good, but the bread was a bit too hard for my taste.

This panini was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more butter or oil to the pan.

The cheese didn't melt very well in my panini. I think I should have used a different type of cheese.

This panini was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less ham next time.

This panini was okay, but I wasn't blown away. The ham was a bit too salty for my taste and the cheese wasn't very flavorful. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the results are always delicious. I usually add a bit of Dijon mustard to the sandwich, which gives it an extra kick of flavor.

Just made this panini for lunch and it was amazing! The radicchio added a nice bitterness that balanced out the richness of the ham and cheese. I'll definitely be adding this to my regular lunch rotation.

This panini was an absolute delight! The combination of smoky ham, roasted radicchio, and gooey cheese was simply irresistible. The bread was perfectly toasted and the flavors all came together beautifully. I'll definitely be making this again soon!
