French Toasted Mozzarella And Prosciutto Sandwiches Food

FRENCH TOASTED MOZZARELLA AND PROSCIUTTO SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200ºF.
• Place 6 slices of bread on a flat work surface, and arrange 1/2 of the mozzarella on the bread - trim and rearrange as necessary to cover each slice.
• Divide the basil and prosciutto over the cheese.
• Place the other 1/2 of the cheese over the prosciutto, arrange and trim as necessary again to cover.
• Top with remaining bread slices, then trim off and discard the bread crusts.
• In a shallow bowl combine the eggs and milk.
• In another bowl combine the bread crumbs, pine nuts and 1/8 tsp each of salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 1/2 Tbs of oil in a large skillet over high heat until hot.
• Dip sandwiches into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then dip into the bread crumbs mixture. Coat the well.
• When the pan is hot, reduce heat to medium-low and add half of the sandwiches.
• Cook them about 3 min on each side or until they are nicely golden and the cheese has melted.
• Place them in the oven to stay warm and repeat with the remaining oil and sandwiches.
• Cut the sandwiches in half or quarters and serve warm.

PROSCIUTTO AND MOZZARELLA PANINI

Steps:

• Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl to blend.
• Arrange the slices of bread on a flat work surface and spread the vinaigrette on one side of each slice. Divide the mozzarella equally among 4 of the bread slices. Top with the prosciutto and roasted red peppers, then place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top, vinaigrette-side down, to form 4 sandwiches.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook, pressing them occasionally with a large spatula or the bottom of a small heavy saucepan, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 4 minutes per side.

GRILLED BACON AND PROSCIUTTO SANDWICH

Steps:

• The Bacon and Prosciutto needs to be grilled, so start your grill to a Medium-High Heat.
• Take your garlic and rub it over the bread, trying to squeeze the juice onto it. Spread the butter on both pieces of bread.
• Mince the Garlic and Parsley, and spread just a tad of the finely minced garlic onto the buttered side of the bread. Leave some to use later.
• Take your cheese and place it on a non-buttered side of bread. Take your remaining garlic and parsley and season to taste.
• Place a frying pan on the stove and turn it to Medium Heat.
• When your grill is hot, start by placing the bacon over the flames. I do about a 1.5 minutes on one side then maybe a minute on the other. Just grill it to the crispyness you prefer. When you bacon is nearly done, place your prosciutto over the flames. This does not need to be for long! It is just to crisp the Prosciutto slightly.
• When done place the Bacon and Prosciutto on the cheese. Place your other slice of bread over it and set in frying pan to cook. (Buttered sides of bread should be out) Cover pan for 2 minutes. Flip with Spatula, side should be slightly crispy and brown. Cook on remaining side for another 1.5-2 minutes covered.
• Remove and enjoy!

TOMATO & MOZZARELLA TOASTIE

Steps:

• Spread the bread with the tomato pizza or pasta sauce. Scatter torn mozzarella and a few torn basil leaves over one slice, then add any meat or veggies you like - shredded chicken or ham, pepperoni, sweetcorn, onions or roasted peppers all work well. Top with the other slice of bread, then butter the outsides of the sandwich. Cook in a hot pan, weighed down by another heavy pan, for 2-3 mins on each side until the outside is crisp and the cheese has melted. Alternatively, cook in a sandwich toaster. Top with a few whole basil leaves and serve.

MOZZARELLA & PROSCIUTTO PANINI

Steps:

• Put a griddle pan over a gentle heat to warm. Take the bread and make two sandwiches, layering up the prosciutto, cheese, red pepper and basil for the filling. Brush the outsides of the bread with oil.
• Put the sandwiches on the griddle and cook for about 1 minute each side - press down firmly with a metal spatula so they flatten and become golden and ridged by the griddle. Eat while deliciously hot and melted.

MOZZARELLA-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Divide the mozzarella between 2 slices of bread, leaving a 1cm border. Sandwich both with another slice of bread, then press the edges with a fork to seal.
• Beat the egg and the milk in a dish, add the sandwiches and leave to soak for 1 min, turning once.
• Fry the sandwiches in the butter over a medium heat for 5 mins, then flip and cook for 5 mins more, until golden on both sides. Serve with chilli sauce.

GRILLED FRESH MOZZARELLA, PROSCIUTTO, AND FIG JAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Split each roll, and layer with the mozzarella and prosciutto.
• Spread the top slices with the fig jam, then close up to form sandwiches.
• Lightly butter the outside of each sandwich.
• Heat a heavy nonstick skillet or panini press over med-high heat.
• Place the sandwiches in the pan, working in two batches depending on the size of the pan.
• 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.
• Though the rolls start off as round, once pressed they are considerably flatter and can easily be turned, if careful.
• Serve right away, cut on the diagonal.
