Cheese

Garlic Aioli

Panini

Method

Agrodolce Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Bell Pepper Agrodolce

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced bell pepper, sugar, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Cook while stirring occasionally until the peppers are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Garlic Aioli Preparation

  1. 2

    Make Garlic Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Stir well until fully combined and smooth. Set aside.

Panini Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Panini

    Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer the cheddar cheese, fontina cheese, goat cheese, and the prepared bell pepper agrodolce. Top with the other two slices of bread, buttered side facing out.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Grill the Panini

    Preheat a panini press or grill pan over medium heat. Place the assembled panini in the press or on the grill. If using a grill pan, press down with a spatula. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Remove the panini from the grill and let it cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm with garlic aioli on the side for dipping.
