Ham, Apple & Brie Panini


My panini press is probably my most valued cooking related expense. I make a panini or quesadilla just about every day for lunch. Something about putting those crusty grill marks on a sandwich just makes it about a million times more delicious. Apple seems like an unusual thing to put in a savory meal, but I tried it on a visit to NYC (a chicken apple brie crepe), and it was divine. So was this sandwich. So try it out, won't you?

Ham, Apple & Brie Panini
2 slices of good bread (I love Trader Joe's Tuscan Pane forever and ever)
3 slices of ham
4 apple slices (something tart, I used Golden Delicious)
sliced brie cheese
spinach
Miracle Whip or mayonnaise

Preheat your panini grill. If you don't have one, a George Foreman or a griddle pan or even a skillet will work just fine. Spray with a little bit of olive oil/cooking spray. Spread mayonnaise on a slice and compile sandwich, first the ham, then apple slices, brie, spinach, and top with the other slice. Grill for 5 minutes, or if using a skillet/griddle press down with a heavy plate, flip over and repeat. I like to eat this with a salad topped with the leftover apples. Yess.
