HAM AND PESTO PANINI



Ham and Pesto Panini image

This is what I created with leftover basil pesto, Italian bread, some Parmesan, ham and Mozzarella... Let me just say, there were no leftovers of this! Wow, melted cheese, pesto, olive oil...so good. If your pesto is oily you won't need the extra olive oil and also if you make your pesto with lots of Parmesan you may not need the additional cheese. My pesto is a little dry with not that much Parmesan because I like to add it later. And, a good substitute for the ham would be turkey or chicken.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 loaf Italian bread
1/4 cup pesto sauce
2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tomatoes, sliced thinly
6 -8 slices black forest ham
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, freshly grated
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the bread in half, vertically.
  • If your pesto is dry, drizzle the olive oil all over the bread (insides as well as out) and then spread the pesto all over the soft insides of the bread pieces. If your pesto is oily there's no need to add oil on the insides.
  • Then place the tomato slices on top of the pesto, and season with the salt and pepper.
  • Layer on the remaining ingredients and top with the top bread piece.
  • Heat your panini grill or frying pan and add the sandwich. If you're using a frying pan, use something weighted down to smush the sandwich while it heats.
  • Turn when the bread starts to turn a golden brown and cook until the cheeses are melted.
  • Remove from the heat and slice into sandwich sizes of your choice.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pears: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe pears that are slightly soft to the touch.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this panini, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Pecorino is a great choice, but you could also use asiago, fontina, or gruyère.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When grilling the panini, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the bread from cooking evenly and the cheese from melting properly.
  • Serve immediately: Paninis are best served immediately after they are grilled. This will ensure that the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

The Pear, Pecorino, and Ham Panini is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet pears, salty ham, and creamy cheese is irresistible. Plus, this panini can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this panini a try.
