GRILLED HAM AND ASPARAGUS PANINI



Grilled Ham and Asparagus Panini image

Grilled Ham and Asparagus Panini Recipe from Festival Foods. This is by far my most favorite sandwich of the month. I like mine with roasted asparagus and sourdough bread. Another great option is using some melty Fontina or farmers cheese. I have also made this with thick pita bread and it adds another dimension. I love to make this sandwich for those days when you want something from those expensive Bistros, but also want to make it your own. Please try your own style and let me know how it turns out for you!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
3 tablespoons pesto sauce
8 slices Italian bread (sourdough works well too)
3/4 lb deli ham, shaved
12 asparagus spears, lightly steamed (Try roasting for a twist)
4 ounces asiago cheese, sliced with a vegetable peeler
1/2 cup roasted red pepper, sliced into thin strips

Steps:

  • In a small bowl mix garlic salt and butter together. Brush one side of each of the pieces of bread. In another bowl mix mayo and pesto sauce.
  • Spread mayo/pesto on other side of each slice of bread. Top 1/2 of slices of bread with ham, asparagus spears, red pepper and Asiago.
  • Top with remaining bread slices and cook in a panini grill or in a large skillet with a little extra butter (like you would a grill cheese, pressing down with a heavy pan on top.).
  • Cook until bread is toasted and sandwich is heated through.
  • Serve with fresh fruits.

Tips:

  • To save time, consider purchasing pre-cooked chicken or asparagus.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of bread or cheese. Multigrain bread or sourdough bread can add a nice flavor and texture to the panini.
  • If you don't have a panini press, you can grill the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to weigh it down with a heavy object, such as a cast iron skillet, to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Serve the panini with your favorite sides, such as a salad, soup, or chips.

Conclusion:

The chicken asparagus panini is a delicious and versatile sandwich that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
