Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat a panini press according to the manufacturer's instructions. (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
Layer one slice of prosciutto and one slice of Fontina cheese onto a slice of bread. Top with 2 tablespoons of giardiniera.
03
Step
1 mins
Cover with the remaining slice of bread to form a sandwich.
04
Step
4 mins
Place the panino in the preheated press and cook until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown and toasted. (3-5 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the second panino.
06
Step
0 mins
Serve immediately, with hot pickled peppers on the side for an extra kick.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a smear of pesto or a drizzle of balsamic glaze before pressing.
If you don't have a panini press, you can achieve a similar effect by cooking the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat, pressing down with a spatula.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses and cured meats to customize your 'Toast Farcito' to your liking.
