I love a sweet-and-savory flavor combination, and this panini recipe is the perfect example of that. Italian plum jam has such a wonderful honey-like flavor, and paired with crispy prosciutto, melty mozzarella and Parmesan, it’s a ridiculously divine combination. This is an ultimate comfort food! I like to pair it with a simple greens salad to cut through the richness.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and heat for a few seconds. Add the prosciutto and cook, stirring constantly until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer the prosciutto to a paper towel-lined plate.
Lay the bread on a cutting board and spread the plum jam evenly over all 4 slices. Divide the mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan between two slices. Evenly crumble the crispy prosciutto directly over the cheese on both slices. Top with the remaining two slices of bread that have jam. Spread the butter evenly over the exposed tops of the sandwich. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan and press down to adhere.
Wipe out the skillet and heat over medium-low. Place the sandwiches, butter-parmesan side down, in the skillet. Top with a slightly smaller lid and press gently. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip, press again, and cook until the second side is golden and the cheese melts, another 4-5 minutes. Remove, let rest for a minute, then cut and serve.

Excellent. Friends raved about it. I’ve made it twice, and actually I thought the 1st was my better effort. I did use different brands of prosciutto. Frying it up in the pan the 2nd prosciutto was somewhat tough and chewy.
Do you recommend a lesser brand when cooking it?
