How to Make Apple Ham Cheddar Panini With Apple Butter Mmm

  1. Core and thinly slice 1 medium apple (about 1 cup sliced), leaving the skin on.
  2. Place 1-2 slices of cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces) on one slice of bread.
  3. Place 2-3 slices of ham (about 3 ounces) on the other slice of bread.
  4. Layer approximately 5-6 slices of the thinly sliced apple on top of the cheese.
  5. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of apple butter evenly over the ham.
  6. Carefully enclose the sandwich, pressing gently to seal.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of dried thyme and a pinch of dried rosemary on both sides of the bread.
  8. Cook in a panini press or George Foreman grill until the cheese is melted and gooey, and the bread is golden brown and toasted (about 3-5 minutes per side).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
