Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 rolls Ciabatta bread
- 4 slices Manchego cheese
- 4 slices Thinly sliced ham
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or grill pan on medium-high heat.
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally and spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the inside of each roll.
Layer 2 slices of Manchego cheese and 2 slices of ham on each roll. Close the sandwiches gently.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on the outside of each roll, covering both the top and bottom surfaces.
Place the sandwiches on the preheated panini press or grill pan. Cook for 3–5 minutes, pressing down gently until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
While the paninis are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, and paprika until smooth and well combined.
Remove the paninis from the heat and let them cool for 1–2 minutes. Slice each panini in half diagonally.
Serve the paninis warm with the dipping sauce on the side.
