Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Scallions (green onions), finely chopped
- 4 slices Ciabatta or sourdough bread, sliced
- 4 slices Prosciutto
- 4 ounces Brie cheese, sliced
- 1 medium Apple (e.g., Honeycrisp, thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for grilling)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter and chopped scallions. Mix well to create scallion butter.
Spread a thin layer of scallion butter on one side of each slice of bread.
On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, layer 2 slices of prosciutto, 2 ounces of brie cheese, and a few slices of apple for each sandwich.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing outward.
Heat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, lightly brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the sandwiches in the panini press or skillet. If using a skillet, press down on the sandwiches with a spatula or place a heavy pan on top.
Grill the sandwiches for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp and the cheese is melted.
Remove the panini from the heat and let rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half. Serve warm.
