The first time I went to a bar with friends in Italy, I was very curious when they offered me "toast" as pub grub. When this panino showed up, I understood that Italian toast and American toast are not the same thing. This Italian "stuffed" toast (toast farcito) recipe uses cooked ham, Fontina cheese, and giardiniera in this hot panino—it goes well with your favorite Italian beer.
Ingredients
- 2 slices prosciutto
- 2 slices Fontina cheese
- 4 slices thin sandwich bread
- 0.25 cups chopped giardiniera , pickled Italian vegetables
- 2 hots pickled peppers , Optional
Instructions

Heat a panini press according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Place 1 slice each prosciutto and Fontina cheese onto 1 bread slice each; add 2 tablespoons giardiniera on top each cheese layer. Top sandwiches with remaining bread slices.

Cook panino in the press until cheese melted and bread toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining panino. Serve hot pickled peppers on the side.

Savory Skillet Burgers
A last-minute quick meal turned into a family favorite. Best homemade skillet burgers I have ever had and they are surprisingly not too bad for you! Making them into sliders on lightly toasted sourdough is an amazing gourmet treat for guests! My boyfriend got out the ketchup, and after one bite of these burgers he put the ketchup away. These burgers are perfect as-is--you don't even need buns!
