Panini Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and mayonnaise until well combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Panini

    Spread the mustard-mayo mixture on one side of each slice of ciabatta or panini bread.

  3. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On one slice of bread, layer the pulled pork, pepper jack cheese, ham, and fresco pickles. Top with the second slice of bread, mustard-mayo side down.

  4. 4

    Grill the Panini

    Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Melt the butter and brush it on the outside of the sandwich. Place the sandwich in the pan and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the panini press, slice in half, and serve with a side of chips.
