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
-
1
Heat a panini press according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
2
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.
-
3
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.

Almond Meal Pancakes
It's always nice when the best version of a recipe is also the easiest. After testing many almond flour pancake recipes that always came out unbalanced in different ways, I now give you the most texturally and *tastily* superior one of them all. Oh, and they are gluten-free, in case you're wondering. Serve with fresh fruit coated in maple syrup!
