BRIE AND APPLE PANINI

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large Pink Lady apples, diced small
1 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon) plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
4 ciabatta rolls, sliced in half horizontally
1 pound Brie, sliced into 1/4-inch slices

Steps:

  • Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan along with the shallots and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the apples and stir to coat in the oil. Add the lemon zest, juice and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well to coat the apples in all the flavors. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to brown and are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir in the basil and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, lay the ciabatta halves out so they are open-faced. Scoop out some of the inside of the bread and discard. Divide the Brie evenly among the halves, about 3 slices per half, tearing them as needed to cover the bread. Divide the apple mixture on the bottom halves of each sandwich (approximately 1/4 cup per sandwich). Place the tops on the sandwiches and press slightly to close.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet along with 2 sandwiches. Place a lid smaller than the skillet on top of the sandwiches and press down gently. Cook until golden brown on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and repeat on the second side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining oil and sandwiches. (Alternatively, you can use a panini press.) Serve warm.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 slices bacon (preferably applewood-smoked)
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 large golden delicious apple, unpeeled, cored, thinly sliced
Dijon mustard
1 loaf focaccia bread, cut crosswise into 4 pieces, then cut horizontally in half
16 ounces brie cheese, rind trimmed, cheese cut into 16 slices
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Spread mustard on cut sides of bread. Place 2 cheese slices on each bottom bread piece, top with 4 to 5 apple slices, then 3 bacon slices. Top each with 2 more cheese slices, then bread pieces. Press sandwiches lightly to compact.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in each of 2 large nonstick skillets over medium heat. Add 2 sandwiches to each skillet. Cover skillet; cook until bottoms of sandwiches are brown, pressing with spatula to compact, about 5 minutes. Turn sandwiches over; cover and cook until brown on bottom and cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
  • Note: Use a panini press for step 4 if you have one.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a crispy sandwich, use a sturdy bread like sourdough or ciabatta.
  • If your apples are not very sweet, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the pan before cooking.
  • To enhance the flavor of your sandwich, try using a variety of cheeses, such as cheddar, gruyère, or fontina.
  • If you are making the sandwich ahead of time, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • To reheat the sandwich, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
