Grilled Fresh Mozzarella, Prosciutto, And Fig Jam Sandwich

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 soft french rolls or 4 italian rolls
• 10 -12 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thickly sliced (make sure to use fresh)
• 8 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
• 1/4-1/2 cup fig jam or 1/4-1/2 cup fig preserves, to taste
• soft butter

Recipe

• 1 split each roll, and layer with the mozzarella and prosciutto.
• 2 spread the top slices with the fig jam, then close up to form sandwiches.
• 3 lightly butter the outside of each sandwich.
• 4 heat a heavy nonstick skillet or panini press over med-high heat.
• 5 place the sandwiches in the pan, working in two batches depending on the size of the pan.
• 6 press the sandwiches or close the grill and brown, turning once or twice, until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted; **you can press the sandwiches by weighting them with something heavy—such as a skillet or wide-bottomed saucepan.
• 7 though the rolls start off as round, once pressed they are considerably flatter and can easily be turned, if careful.
• 8 serve right away, cut on the diagonal.
