Pretty Paninis

Proscuitto, Fontina, and Fig Panini

Let me start by saying that the fig jam is next to impossible to find.  I spent hours looking at Wegmans.  It ended up being next to the fresh cheeses and it's called fig and onion jam.  I also don't have a panini pan but that certainly doesn't stop me.  You can make it like a grilled cheese or if you really need the grill marks then use a grilling pan and push the sandwich down with a flat spatula.  This one honestly only took me 5 minutes to make and I was eating it on my way out the door.

slices of thick country-style bread
thinly sliced proscuitto
shredded fontina cheese
baby arugula leaves
fig preserves

Top one slice of bread with several slices proscuitto, sprinkle with fontina cheese, and arugula.  Spread a tbsp of fig jam on other slice of bread and and top the sandwich with it.  Spray each side with olive oil cooking spray.  Cook 3-4 min or until browned on each side.

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!
