Taleggio And Pear Panini
Serves 4
Recipe By: Giada De Laurentiis
1 loaf ciabatta bread (or 8 slices country bread)
1/4 cup olive oil
8 ounces Taleggio cheese or brie -- sliced
2 large pears -- apples or peaches, cored and cut into 1/4-inch wedges
2 tablespoons honey
pinch salt
pinch freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces arugula or spinach
Preheat the panini machine. Cut the ciabatta loaf into 4 equal pieces.
Halve each piece horizontally to make 4 sandwiches. Brush the bread on
both sides with olive oil and place the bottom-half of the bread slices
in the panini machine in a single layer. Heat until golden, about 3 to 4
minutes. Continue with the remaining top slices of bread. While the top
slices of the bread are in the Panini machine, begin forming the
sandwiches. Divide the cheese among the warm bread. Cover the cheese with
slices of fruit. Drizzle the fruit with honey. Sprinkle with salt and
pepper. Top with a handful of arugula. Place the warmed top half of the
bread over the arugula and return the competed sandwich to the panini
machine for 1 to 2 minutes more to finish melting the cheese. Remove from
the panini machine. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
