Leftover Holiday Ham Paninis

Leftover Holiday Ham Paninis

Makes 2

These warm, savory paninis feature sliced ham, crisp apple slices, sharp white Cheddar and a flavorful spread of apple butter and stone-ground mustard. Grilled to golden perfection, they're equal parts sweet, tangy and smoky.

Ingredients

4 slices Kowalski's Signature Artisan Multigrain Bread
2 tbsp. Kowalski's Apple Butter
8 oz. thinly sliced leftover ham
4 thin slices white Cheddar
2 tbsp. Kowalski's Stone Ground Mustard
- baby arugula, to taste

Directions
  1. Preheat a nonstick skillet, griddle or panini press to medium heat.
  2. Spread one side of 2 bread slices with apple butter; top evenly with ham, cheese and apple.
  3. Spread mustard on one side of remaining bread slices; place bread mustard-side down over sandwich fillings.
  4. Lightly brush both sides of sandwiches with oil; place on preheated cooking surface. Cook on first side until bottoms are dark golden-brown (about 2 min.); flip and repeat (sandwiches do not need to be flipped in a panini press).
  5. If needed, reduce heat slightly and continue cooking until ham is hot and cheese is melted (about 2 min. more), flipping occasionally if using a skillet or griddle.
  6. Open sandwiches; top evenly with arugula. Close and cut each sandwich in half on the diagonal; serve immediately.
