Salami and Cheese Panini

By EdieK

Reminiscent of a grilled cheese, a panini is filled with combos of meat, cheese, and vegetables. The snack is pressed and grilled, either with a cast-iron weight in a grill pan or with a panini maker, yielding a dense texture and a savory flavor.

Ingredients

• 8 slice(s) rye bread
• 4 teaspoon(s) sharp, hot mustard
• 1/2 head(s) (small) radicchio, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tablespoon(s) balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 pound(s) hard salami, thinly sliced
• 1/2 pound(s) Jarlsberg cheese, thinly sliced
• 4 teaspoon(s) butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Spread 4 slices of bread with mustard.

Toss the radicchio with the vinegar, place on top of the mustard-spread slices of bread. Layer each sandwich with 3 slices of salami and 3 slices of cheese. Top with the remaining bread. Brush both sides of the sandwich with butter. Grill in a panini press until cheese is melted -- about 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
