ReCIPeS

Prosciutto and fontina Panini
with arugula
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients:
2 slices good quality, european-style bread, about ½-inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 to 4 slices Fontina or Swiss cheese, medium thickness
2 to 3 slices of very thin prosciutto (or enough to cover each slice of bread)
Small bunch of arugula or spinach, washed and dried
Method:
Insert the removable plates into the grill, choosing the side with the grill
grates. Turn the Position Control Knob to "Closed" and the Temperature
Control Knob to 350°f. The Ready light will illuminate as soon as the grill is
preheated.
While the grill is preheating, assemble the Panini. Brush one side of each
slice of bread with olive oil. Place one slice, oil side down, on work surface.
Place the Fontina or Swiss cheese on the bread, being sure to cover the
slice, followed by a few leaves of arugula or spinach. next, add a layer of
prosciutto and another layer of cheese followed by the remaining slice of
bread (oil side facing out).
Using the handle, open the grill lid until it rests at the top position (at about
90 degrees). Insert the Panini. Pull the handle down firmly sandwiching the
Panini between the grill grates. Grill for 2 to 5 minutes or until golden
brown. (Check the Panini after 2 minutes for doneness and continue
toasting, if needed.) Remove with a heat resistant nonmetal utensil and
serve warm.
