Starbucks Ham And Swiss Panini Recipes

HAM, APPLE, AND SWISS PANINI

Steps:

• Preheat panini press (alternatively, you can use a grill pan or skillet if you don't have one).
• Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on each slice of bread. Flip bread over.
• In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise (2 tablespoons) and dijon mustard (2 tablespoons) together. On the non-buttered side of the bread, spread 1/2 tablespoon of mixture on each slice.
• On four slices of bread, stack the ham, apple slices, and swiss cheese evenly in that order. Flip the remaining slices of bread butter side up on top to complete the four sandwiches.
• Add the sandwiches one or two at a time (depending on how big your panini press is) to the press, pressing down firmly for 5 seconds and leaving it to cook for approximately 3 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside and the cheese is melted on the inside.
• Serve hot off the press!

HAM-AND-CHEESE PANINI

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat; add shallots. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add thyme and continue cooking until onions are caramelized, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard on one side of a slice of bread. Top with a slice of cheese, 2 ounces ham, 1/4 of the shallot mixture, and another slice of cheese. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard on a second slice of bread and place mustard side down on top of cheese to form a sandwich. Repeat process three times with remaining mustard, bread, cheese, ham, and shallots.
• Brush top and bottom of each sandwich with olive oil. Place in a panini grill and press until bread is crisp and brown, and cheese has melted slightly, 9 to 10 minutes. If using a grill pan, preheat over medium-high heat. Place a heavy pan on top of sandwiches and press down. Cook, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
