Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In the same skillet, add sliced yellow onions and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Panini

    On a slice of panini bread, layer duck confit, crispy bacon, gouda cheese, caramelized onions, and apricot thyme jam. Top with the second slice of bread.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Grill the Panini

    Preheat a panini press or grill pan over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Slice the panini in half and serve with a side of mixed greens salad or sweet potato fries if desired.
