Sweet And Savory Paninis Recipes

SWEET AND SAVORY TURKEY PANINI

Steps:

• Fill a pot with 2-inches of canola oil and heat it to 375 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Arrange the bacon on a sheet tray with a rack. Brush the bacon with even amounts of maple syrup. Bake until crisp, about 18 to 22 minutes. Remove the bacon from the oven to a paper towel lined platter. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, cayenne, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a medium-sized bowl. Add the sliced shallots and toss the shallots in the flour to coat evenly. Shake off excess flour. Working in 2 batches, fry the shallots until crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove them to a paper towel lined platter and sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, chipotles, adobo sauce, cilantro, lemon and garlic until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
• Slice the turkey breast into 1/4-inch slices. Lay the bread out on a large cutting board. Spread chipotle mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Top each slice of bread with a slice of smoked Cheddar and a couple slices of bacon. Sprinkle some crispy shallots on 3 slices of bread. Put a few slices of turkey on top of the onions. Sprinkle some additional shallots on the turkey. Form 3 sandwiches and spread each sandwich with a little melted butter. Put the sandwiches in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, pressing down the sandwich with a spatula, for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove the sandwiches from the pan and serve.

SWEET AND SAVORY PANINIS

Steps:

• Thaw the pastry sheets at room temperature for 40 minutes or until they're easy to handle.
• Unfold 1 pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 15 x 10-inch rectangle. Cut the pastry rectangle lengthwise into 3 (5 x 10-inch) rectangles. Brush the pastry rectangles with the egg. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet.
• Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese on the bottom half of each pastry rectangle. Top each with about 3 slices ham,about 2 tablespoons arugula leaves and 2 slices nectarine. Fold the top halves over the filling and press the edges to seal.
• Place each pastry packet one at a time into a panini maker and close the top. Cook for 6 minutes or until the panini is golden. Remove the panini to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 275°F oven while the remaining paninis are cooked.
