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
