Luna Bakery & Cafe’s Ham Panini
Serves 4
- 8 slices Siciliano or multigrain bread
- 12-16 slices all-natural ham, thinly sliced
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 20-24 leaves baby spinach
- French whole grain mustard
- Butter, softened
For each sandwich, spread mustard on two slices of bread and add a slice of cheese to both. Add 3-4 slices of ham to one side, add spinach and top it with the other slice of bread. Spread butter on both sides of the panini and grill it on a preheated sandwich press. Alternately, heat a saute pan over medium heat. Cook the panini until golden on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the second side until golden and cheese is melted, about 1-2 minutes more.
Chef’s Take
“It’s simple with a little upscale twist. It’s the perfect balance of the salty ham, tangy mustard, creamy cheese and fresh spinach. It has all the elements you need for a great sandwich.” — Bridget Thibeault, owner and chef at Luna Bakery & Cafe
