Turkey Pear And Brie Panini On Pumpernickel With Peach Mayo Food

TURKEY, PEAR AND BRIE PANINI ON PUMPERNICKEL WITH PEACH MAYO

Steps:

• Peach Mayonnaise -- In a small food processor, mix up the peaches, mayonnaise and cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Make ahead, cover and place in the refrigerator.
• Sandwich -- I like to spread the first slice of bread with the mayonnaise, followed by the turkey, pear slices, brie cheese, a few onion rings. Top it off the the top slice also spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise on the inside.
• Grill -- Now, butter your top slice and place buttered side down in your pan. I prefer a grill pan, but you can use any non-stick pan. Grill on medium heat.
• I like to use any heavy pan to slightly weigh down the sandwich as it grills. Then, once the first side is golden brown, butter your top bread slice and flip. Just cook another few minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted or "gooey." ENJOY!

TALEGGIO AND PEAR PANINI

Steps:

• Preheat the panini machine. Cut the ciabatta loaf into 4 equal pieces. Halve each piece horizontally to make 4 sandwiches. Brush the bread on both sides with olive oil and place the bottom-half of the bread slices in the panini machine in a single layer. Heat until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Continue with the remaining top slices of bread.
• While the top slices of the bread are in the Panini machine, begin forming the sandwiches. Divide the cheese among the warm bread. Cover the cheese with slices of fruit. Drizzle the fruit with honey. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with a handful of arugula. Place the warmed top half of the bread over the arugula and return the competed sandwich to the panini machine for 1 to 2 minutes more to finish melting the cheese. Remove from the panini machine. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.

BRIE AND APPLE PANINI

Steps:

• Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan along with the shallots and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the apples and stir to coat in the oil. Add the lemon zest, juice and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well to coat the apples in all the flavors. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to brown and are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir in the basil and set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, lay the ciabatta halves out so they are open-faced. Scoop out some of the inside of the bread and discard. Divide the Brie evenly among the halves, about 3 slices per half, tearing them as needed to cover the bread. Divide the apple mixture on the bottom halves of each sandwich (approximately 1/4 cup per sandwich). Place the tops on the sandwiches and press slightly to close.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet along with 2 sandwiches. Place a lid smaller than the skillet on top of the sandwiches and press down gently. Cook until golden brown on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and repeat on the second side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining oil and sandwiches. (Alternatively, you can use a panini press.) Serve warm.

HAM AND BRIE PANINI (SANDWICH)

Steps:

• Preheat skillet or panini press.
• Prepare sandwich by spreading tapenade on the inside of one piece of bread and layering ham, arugula, and then brie. Top with remaining bread.
• If desired brush outside of sandwich with olive oil.
• Cook until heated through and crispy onthe outside.

TURKEY, PEAR AND RASPBERRY PANINI

Steps:

• Heat panini maker as directed by manufacturer.
• On each of 4 slices of bread, place 1 cheese slice. Top each evenly with turkey breast. Top turkey breast with turkey bacon. Place single layer of pear slices on each.
• On each remaining slice of bread, spread 1 teaspoon jam. Place bread jam side down over pear slices. Lightly brush both sides of sandwiches with olive oil.
• Place sandwiches in hot panini maker. Cook until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown. Serve immediately.
