Time 27m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
8 (1/2-inch) thick slices country-style white bread
1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Gruyere
8 slices (8-ounces) Black Forest ham

Steps:

In a 12-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are slightly soft, about 4 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes.
Preheat a panini press. Spread each bread slice with 1 tablespoon mustard. Arrange 1/4 cup of cheese on each of 4 bread slices and top with 2 slices of ham. Divide the apple mixture evenly on top of the ham. Add the remaining cheese and cover with the remaining 4 bread slices. Grill in the panini press until the cheese has melted and the tops are golden and crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Smoked Ham, Roasted Radicchio, And Cheese Panini image

Provided by Scott Conant

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 head radicchio, cut through the core into 8 wedges
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 1/2-inch slices ciabatta or other good crusty bread
6 thin slices smoked ham
2 to 3 ounces assertive cheese, such as Gorgonzola or Camembert, crumbled or thinly sliced

Steps:

Roast the radicchio:
Heat the oven to 350°F. Lay the wedges of radicchio on a small sheet pan and drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and cover the pan with aluminum foil. (Covering the pan allows the radicchio to steam and roast at the same time.) Cook until very tender and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. (The radicchio can be roasted a day ahead.)
Grill the panini:
Heat a panini or sandwich grill until hot (400°F to 450°F). If you don't have a panini grill, heat a grill pan or ¬cast-¬iron pan over ¬medium--low heat. Pat the radicchio dry, if need be, and cut away any tough core. Make two sandwiches, layering the ham, cheese, and radicchio. (You may not use all of the radicchio.)
Brush the outsides of the sandwiches with olive oil and grill in the press for 9 to 10 minutes; you want to crisp and brown the bread and melt the cheese a bit, but the meat need not be excessively hot. If using a pan, weight the sandwiches down with another heavy pan set on top. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, watching them carefully and adjusting the heat as needed. Cut and serve.
