Slice the nectarine thinly, removing the pit.
Spread the butter evenly onto one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, layer the prosciutto, sliced nectarines, fontina cheese, and a small handful of arugula.
Drizzle honey evenly over the arugula, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Top the layered ingredients with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out.
Heat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, drizzle with olive oil before placing the sandwiches in the pan.
Cook the panini for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula if using a skillet, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Remove the panini from the heat, let rest for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
