Ingredients

  • 8 ciabatta bread slices*
  • 4 tsp. coarse-grained Dijon mustard
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • 4 (1 oz.) fontina cheese slices
  • 4 oz. thinly sliced country ham, prosciutto, or Serrano ham
  • 2 medium peaches (about 3/4 lb.), unpeeled and sliced
  • 4 tsp. honey (optional)
  • 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. Spread each of 4 bread slices with 1 tsp. mustard and sprinkle with desired amount of freshly ground pepper. Layer with cheese, ham, peaches, and if desired, honey. Top with remaining bread slices, and press together gently. Brush sandwiches with olive oil.
  2. Cook sandwiches, in batches, in a preheated panini press 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted. (Or use a preheated nonstick grill pan, and cook sandwiches over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes on each side.) Serve immediately.
