- 2 ciabatta rolls, split in half
- 1 tbsp salted butter
- 2 oz. Fontina cheese, thinly sliced
- 2 oz. Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
- 4 oz. sliced smoked turkey
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp apple butter
Spread butter on the outsides of each split roll.
On the non-buttered side of the bottom of each roll, spread ½ tablespoon of dijon mustard, followed by half of the sliced Swiss. On the cheese, layer half of the sliced turkey, then top with half of the sliced Fontina. Spread ½ tablespoon of apple butter on the non-buttered side of the top of the roll. Top the panini, apple butter side down.Repeat for the second panini. In a dry pan over medium heat, grill the sandwiches, about 3 minutes per side or until the cheese is melted and oozing over the edges. Weigh the sandwiches down as they cook with a cast-iron panini press. If you don't have a press, place another pan on the sandwiches and weigh down with something sturdy and heavy, like soup cans.
Remove the golden brown paninis from the heat and slice in half before digging in. Serve warm.
