Winter Ham & Cheddar Panini
Hats off to the first man or woman to put thin sliced apples on a sandwich! Bursting with flavor, this sandwich has a balanced, yet powerful taste.
Ingredients & Instructions
- 16 oz. Frick’s sliced Applewood smoked ham
- 8 oz. Vermont white cheddar cheese
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage
- 8 slices country bread
- 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
Step 1
Pre-heat Panini maker to 380°F or to Panini setting. If using a skillet, heat to medium high prior to adding sandwich.
Step 2
Spread 1/2 Tbsp. mayonaise onto one side of each slice of bread. Thinly slice 1/2 apple per sandwich and place on top of mayonnaise. Place 4 slices (approximately 4 oz.) Applewood ham per sandwich on top of apples. Place 2 oz. sliced cheddar per sandwich on top of ham. Sprinkle cheese with 1/2 Tbsp. chopped fresh sage per sandwich. Place bread on top of sage, mayonnaise side down.
Step 3
Liberally butter top and bottom of sandwich and place into Panini maker or skillet. Grill sandwiches for 3 minutes, in Panini maker, or 3 minutes per side, in skillets. Remove from Panini maker and allow to cool 2 minutes before cutting.
