Equipment

  • 1 panini press

Ingredients

  • ½ cup savory peach compote see recipe below
  • 4 ciabatta rolls cut in half lengthwise and again on the diagonal (as shown)
  • 1 cup fresh arugula
  • 1 chicken breast boneless, skinless, cooked and sliced thin
  • 4 oz brie rind removed and sliced

Instructions

  • Spread the savory peach compote on the cut surfaces of the ciabatta rolls.
  • Top the bottom halves of each roll with the arugula, chicken breast, and sliced Brie. Add remaining bread on top to form a sandwich.
  • Heat a large grill pan over medium heat and add the sandwiches.
  • Press down on the sandwiches with a spatula or a clean heavy cast iron skillet for better contact while grilling. 
  • Heat until the bread is toasted, approximately 4-5 minutes, before carefully turning the sandwiches.
  • Repeat on the remaining side until toasted, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately along with some potato chips and/or choice of side dishes. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For best results, cut the ciabatta rolls on the diagonal prior to assembling. They are much more difficult to cut once assembled and toasted.
