The first time I went to a bar with friends in Italy, I was very curious when they offered me "toast" as pub grub. When this panino showed up I understood that Italian toast and American toast is NOT the same thing. Cooked ham, fontina cheese, and giardiniera make up this hot panino that goes well with your favorite Italian beer.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 2 slices prosciutto

  • 2 slices fontina cheese

  • 4 slices thin sandwich bread

  • ¼ cup chopped giardiniera (pickled Italian vegetables)

  • 2 hot pickled peppers (Optional)

Directions

  1. Heat a panini press according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. Place 1 slice prosciutto and 1 slice fontina cheese onto a slice of bread; repeat with remaining prosciutto, fontina cheese, and another slice of bread. Add 1/2 of the giardiniera on top of each cheese layer and top sandwiches with remaining bread slices, creating 2 sandwiches.
