Fig, Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Panini image

A taste of this sandwich whisks you to the Italian countryside. It combines sweet honey, dried figs, tangy goat cheese, nutty Asiago and salty prosciutto. We often pack it in our picnic basket for summer or fall outings. -Maria Brennan, Middlebury, Connecticut

This panini was very easy to make and turned out great! I used a whole wheat bread and it was the perfect complement to the fillings. The flavors were all very well-balanced and the panini was very filling.

I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The goat cheese was actually really good in this panini. The flavors were all very well-balanced and the panini was very filling.

This panini was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think next time I would use less figs or maybe even omit them altogether. Otherwise, the panini was very good. The caramelized onions and goat cheese were a great combination.

This was a great recipe! I followed it exactly and the panini turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little bit more goat cheese. Otherwise, it was perfect!
