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

SMOKED CHEDDAR & HAM PANINI



Smoked Cheddar & Ham Panini image

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.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Ham: Opt for a smoked ham with a good balance of smokiness and saltiness. Look for a ham that is well-marbled with fat, as this will contribute to its flavor and juiciness.
  • Preparing the Radicchio: To enhance its flavor, roast the radicchio in a hot oven until it becomes slightly charred and tender. This roasting process brings out its natural sweetness and adds a smoky depth to the panini.
  • Selecting the Cheese: Choose a cheese that melts well and has a bold flavor to complement the ham and radicchio. Some suitable options include sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or fontina cheese.
  • Creating a Flavorful Spread: To add an extra layer of flavor to the panini, make a simple spread by combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. This spread adds a tangy and savory element to the sandwich.
  • Assembling the Panini: To ensure a well-balanced panini, layer the ingredients evenly. Start with a generous spread of the mayonnaise mixture, followed by the roasted radicchio, ham, and cheese. Top it off with the remaining bread slice and press it down gently.
  • Grilling the Panini: For a crispy and golden-brown panini, grill it in a panini press or a well-heated skillet until the cheese is melted and gooey and the bread is toasted to perfection.

Conclusion:

This smoked ham, roasted radicchio, and cheese panini is a delightful combination of flavors and textures that is sure to impress. The smokiness of the ham pairs perfectly with the slightly bitter and roasted radicchio, while the melted cheese adds a rich and creamy element. Served warm and crispy, this panini makes for a satisfying and flavorful meal, perfect for lunch, dinner, or even as a party appetizer. With its ease of preparation and delicious taste, this panini is a must-try for anyone who loves a classic grilled sandwich with a gourmet twist.
