Ham, Apple, and Swiss Panini
Description
The Ham, Apple, and Swiss Panini recipe begins by buttering multigrain bread slices on one side and spreading a tangy mixture of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the other. The sandwich is then assembled with thick slices of ham, thinly sliced apple for a subtle sweetness and crunch, and shredded Swiss cheese that melts during cooking. The completed sandwiches are toasted in a panini press, which presses and grills them to a crisp, golden-brown crust and melts the cheese inside.
The combination of savory ham, sweet apple, and creamy, nutty Swiss cheese delivers layered flavors and textures, while the spread adds moisture and a slight sharpness. The panini press method ensures a warm, melty, and crisp sandwich perfect for lunch or a quick dinner.
Serving the panini fresh off the press highlights the melted cheese and toasted bread contrast. It can be paired with simple sides like a salad or chips.
Ingredients
- 8 lices multigrain bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- 8 oz. ham thick-sliced, pieces
- 1 apple cored and thinly sliced, small size
- 8 oz. swiss cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat panini press (alternatively, you can use a grill pan or skillet if you don't have one).
- Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on each slice of bread. Flip bread over.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise (2 tablespoons) and dijon mustard (2 tablespoons) together. On the non-buttered side of the bread, spread 1/2 tablespoon of mixture on each slice.
- On four slices of bread, stack the ham, apple slices, and swiss cheese evenly in that order. Flip the remaining slices of bread butter side up on top to complete the four sandwiches.
- Add the sandwiches one or two at a time (depending on how big your panini press is) to the press, pressing down firmly for 5 seconds and leaving it to cook for approximately 3 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside and the cheese is melted on the inside.
- Serve hot off the press!
Notes
- Nutrition information does not include seasoning or optional ingredients; calculate separately if needed.
- Use thick-sliced ham for better texture and flavor contrast in the sandwich.
- Press the sandwich firmly for a few seconds before cooking to compact the ingredients for even grilling.
