Time 38m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil cooking spray
16 thin slices pancetta
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
12 dried black mission figs
3 tablespoons brandy or apple juice
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted (see Cook's Notes)
4 ciabatta rolls, halved lengthwise
8 ounces Brie, rind removed, cut into 8 slices (see Cook's Notes)

Steps:

  • For the pancetta: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 2 baking sheets with vegetable oil cooking spray. Arrange the pancetta in a single layer on each baking sheet. Bake until golden and crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • For the jam: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, figs, and brandy (or apple juice) over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Pour into a food processor and add the hazelnuts. Blend until smooth and thick.
  • Preheat a panini press. Spread the bottom half of each roll with the jam. Place 4 slices of cooked pancetta on top and add 2 slices of cheese. Place the top half of the roll on top of the cheese. Grill in a panini maker until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool slightly and serve.
  • Cook's Notes:
  • -To toast the hazelnuts, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool completely before using.
  • - For easier slicing, freeze the cheese for 15 minutes
