Perfect Panini!

Ham, Gruyere and Apple Panini

I'd call it grilled cheese for grown-ups.  It seems like an odd combination of flavors but they pair so well.  The savory of the cheese and ham with the bitter-sweetness of the apple is so delicious!  I don't own a panini press but that doesn't stop me from making them.  I used my grilling pan on the stove-top and applied pressure using a spatula.  I still got the nice grill marks and they tasted great.  For a substitution suggestion, I would say that you could use many different kinds of ham to get a variety of flavors (a leftover holiday ham might work great).  I also think turkey breast would work well in this sandwich.  Just because it's called a panini doesn't mean that it won't fill you up, it was a satisfying dinner.

About Little Murph

Liverpool, NY, United States
My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
