Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Boursin cheese (garlic & herb)
- 2 slices Artisan bread (ciabatta or sourdough)
- 3 slices Thinly sliced deli ham
- 0.5 cups Fresh arugula
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Dijon mustard
Instructions
Spread 1 tablespoon of Boursin cheese on each slice of bread. If desired, spread Dijon mustard on one of the slices for an added tangy kick.
Layer the ham evenly on one slice of bread, followed by the arugula. Top with the second slice of bread, Boursin cheese side down, to form a sandwich.
Butter the outside faces of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter per side to ensure golden grilling.
Heat a panini press or a non-stick skillet on medium heat. If using a skillet, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil for even browning.
Place the sandwich in the panini press or skillet. If using a skillet, press the sandwich down with a heavy pan or spatula to achieve crispness.
Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is warm and gooey.
Remove the panini from the heat, let it rest for 1 minute, and slice in half for serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Boursin Parisian Panini with a side of mixed greens or chips!
