Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Panini Press
Preheat your panini press according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 2: Assemble the Panini
Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface. On one slice, spread a generous amount of grape mostarda.
Step 3: Add Prosciutto
Layer the prosciutto on top of the grape mostarda.
Step 4: Top with Additional Bread
Place another slice of bread on top to create a sandwich.
Step 5: Grill the Sandwich
Once your panini press is hot, carefully place the sandwich inside and close the lid. Grill for about 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Slice and Serve
Remove the panini from the press and let it sit for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve warm.
Notes
Note 1: Choosing Bread
For the best results, use a crusty bread that can hold up to grilling, such as ciabatta or focaccia.
Note 2: Alternative Spread
If grape mostarda is unavailable, consider using a sweet fig jam or other fruit preserves as a substitute.
Note 3: Add Cheese
Feel free to add a slice of cheese, such as provolone or mozzarella, for an extra layer of flavor in your panini.
Note 4: Serving Suggestions
Serve the panini with a light side salad or some fresh fruit for a balanced meal.
