Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Fig and Brie Panini with Prosciutto

[heart_this] · Aug 19, 2009 · 61 Comments

Fig and Brie Panini with Prosciutto

Summer is in full swing and we are just spoilt for choice. Not only are the markets filled with a ton of locally produced fruits and vegetables but they are also filled with great imports. In particular, I have been enjoying the figs lately. Mostly I have just been snacking on them but when I found some extra brie in my fridge I decided to do something more. After discovering that jams and preserves went well in grilled cheese sandwiches one of the first jams that I tried in a grilled cheese was a fig jam and I really enjoyed it. I was thinking that a grilled brie and fresh fig sandwich would also be great. This time I decided to beef (or pork in this case) the sandwich up a bit with some tasty prosciutto. The brie and fig panini turned out really well. The brie melted nicely and the sandwich was nice and ooey and gooey and good with every bite trailing strings of melted brie. The sweet fig, brie and prosciutto were a great combination and I practically inhaled the sandwich. Luckily I have enough of everything to make a few more of them.

    Don't tell anybody, but I just stole and ate a ripe green fig hanging into my back alley from my neighbour's fig tree. They don't seem to eat figs. They're letting them fall and rot on the ground! If only I can reach some top branches, I can give your recipe a try! It looks great!

    Kevin, You always take amazing photos and this one just might (slim chance) make me try a fig. Something about their look just doesn't do it for me… of course I have no idea what kind of taste I am missing out on.

    And it's beautiful too!
    I can't wait to try it. I may not be able to get a hold of fresh figs, but maybe I can have a version of your sandwich if I make a spread out of some dried figs …

    Anja: Do to space restrictions in my small kitchen I do not have a panini press. I have been using a grill pan and pressing down on the sandwich to flatten the paninis and get some nice grill marks on them.
