Ingredients

The sauce
  • 6 tablespoons cherry jam
  • 1 chipotle pepper seeded and chopped (See Note)
  • ½ teaspoon adobo sauce (from chipotle pepper can)
The panini
  • 4 ciabatta rolls
  • 4 ounces Brie cheese sliced
  • 6 ounces roasted turkey breast sliced
  • 1 large ripe pear sliced
  • ¾ cup (packed) spinach leaves

Instructions

The sauce
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, stir together cherry jam, finely chopped chipotle pepper, and adobo sauce (from chipotle can).
The panini
  1. Preheat panini press or large grill pan or skillet.
  2. Cut ciabatta rolls in half horizontally. Divide the cherry-chipotle sauce evenly between the four rolls, spreading on top and bottom halves.
  3. On the bottom half of each roll, layer Brie cheese, turkey, pear slices, and spinach leaves. Top with other halves of the rolls.
  4. Place the sandwiches on the panini maker or pan, working in batches if necessary. Close the panini press. If using a grill pan or skillet, place a brick, washed and wrapped in foil, on top of the sandwiches to emulate a panini press.
  5. When the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwiches from the press, cut in half, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce can be found in the international food section of most well-stocked grocery stores or they can be purchased online.
