Smoked Ham Roasted Radicchio And Cheese Panini Recipes

Steps:

• Butter 1 side of each bread slice, then put 4 slices, buttered side down, on a work surface. Top the bread slices with the smoked ham, then the teleme cheese, distributing it evenly. Top each with a second slice of bread, buttered side up.
• Heat a panini pan/sandwich griller until hot. Heat the sandwich in the griller, with a weight on top to keep as flat as possible. Cook until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes,
• Transfer the sandwiches to a work surface and remove the top slice of bread from each sandwich. Spread the underside of those slices with mustard, and add roasted peppers, if desired.
• Replace the top slice of bread, cut the sandwiches in half, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Roast the radicchio:
• Heat the oven to 350°F. Lay the wedges of radicchio on a small sheet pan and drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and cover the pan with aluminum foil. (Covering the pan allows the radicchio to steam and roast at the same time.) Cook until very tender and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. (The radicchio can be roasted a day ahead.)
• Grill the panini:
• Heat a panini or sandwich grill until hot (400°F to 450°F). If you don't have a panini grill, heat a grill pan or ¬cast-¬iron pan over ¬medium--low heat. Pat the radicchio dry, if need be, and cut away any tough core. Make two sandwiches, layering the ham, cheese, and radicchio. (You may not use all of the radicchio.)
• Brush the outsides of the sandwiches with olive oil and grill in the press for 9 to 10 minutes; you want to crisp and brown the bread and melt the cheese a bit, but the meat need not be excessively hot. If using a pan, weight the sandwiches down with another heavy pan set on top. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, watching them carefully and adjusting the heat as needed. Cut and serve.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.
• Arrange radicchio wedges, cut sides up, in a 2 1/2-quart shallow glass or ceramic baking dish (11 by 7 inches), then drizzle with oil and vinegar and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast radicchio, turning over once or twice, until wilted and tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Arrange cheese over radicchio, then arrange prosciutto over cheese and roast until cheese is just melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook onions until tender in a skillet prepared with non-stick cooking spray over medium-high heat.
• When onion is browned, add syrup, stirring well, and cook for an additional minute.
• Allow onion to cool. Spread 2 slices of bread with mayonnaise.
• Layer remaining ingredients on top, ending with the second slice of bread on each sandwich.
• Spray both sides of each sandwich with cooking spray before placing on panini grill or in skillet.
• If using panini grill, grill the sandwiches for about 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bread is toasted.
• If using a skillet, cook sandwich over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side, flipping once, or until cheese is melted and bread is toasted. Use a second skillet to weight down the sandwich on top.
