Time 15m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 slices Italian bread
1 pound ham, sliced
1 pound teleme cheese
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1 cup roasted peppers

Steps:

  • Butter 1 side of each bread slice, then put 4 slices, buttered side down, on a work surface. Top the bread slices with the smoked ham, then the teleme cheese, distributing it evenly. Top each with a second slice of bread, buttered side up.
  • Heat a panini pan/sandwich griller until hot. Heat the sandwich in the griller, with a weight on top to keep as flat as possible. Cook until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes,
  • Transfer the sandwiches to a work surface and remove the top slice of bread from each sandwich. Spread the underside of those slices with mustard, and add roasted peppers, if desired.
  • Replace the top slice of bread, cut the sandwiches in half, and serve immediately.

SMOKED CHEDDAR & HAM PANINI

This was adapted from a recipe card picked up in a grocery store. Delicious - great for a cold day, with some soup! Feel free to change up the bread to what you prefer - the original called for marble rye, but I put in what we usually use. You can use other types of ham and regular cheddar, but the flavor of the smoked versions really contrast wonderfully with the sweetness of the onions and apple, so I would recommend trying them, if possible. I'm also putting a range on the meat, because we prefer smaller meat portions (the 1/4 lb), but I know a lot of people who like more meat, so you could easily use up to 1/2 lb, if desired. The original directions called for using a panini grill, but I don't have one, so I'm enclosing both methods.
