Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Ciabatta bread
- 3 slices Deli ham
- 2 ounces Brie cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fig jam
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Arugula (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat.
Spread the fig jam evenly on one side of one slice of ciabatta bread.
Layer the deli ham on top of the fig jam, followed by slices of brie cheese.
If desired, add a small handful of fresh arugula for extra flavor and texture.
Place the second slice of ciabatta bread on top to form a sandwich.
Spread butter evenly on the outer sides of the sandwich (both top and bottom slices).
Place the sandwich on the preheated panini press and close the lid. If using a skillet, place the sandwich in the pan and press down gently with a spatula.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on the panini press or about 2-3 minutes per side in the skillet, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the brie is melted.
Remove the panini from the heat and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing in half and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Ham and Brie Panini Sandwich!
