Equipment
- 1 Panini press
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Mayo or softened butter
- 2 slices Bread thick (like sourdough)
- 2 slices Ham deli style of your choice; thinly sliced
- ½ cup Mozzarella cheese or one slice; can also use Asiago cheese
- 1 tbsp Sandwich spread mayo, mustard or flavored variations
- ¼ Green apple optional
Instructions
- Preheat panini press to 350 degrees.
- Spread the outside of one bread slice with one tablespoon of butter or mayo. Place the bread with the spread facing down onto a plate.
- Next, layer on the ham. You may need to fold the ham or trim the ham to ensure there isn’t too much overhang.
- Optional: Over the ham, add enough slices of thinly sliced green apples - around 5 or 6 - enough to cover the surface evenly.
- Over the ham and apples (if using), layer the shredded cheese.
- On the second slice of bread, add your favorite sandwich spread (mustard or mayo) to one side. Place this slice of bread on the sandwich with the spread facing down.
- Add a bit more butter or mayonnaise to the outer side of the top bread before transferring the sandwich to the panini press.
- Grill the sandwich for 6-7 minutes until it turns golden brown.
- Serve warm with additional slices of apple.
