Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 2 tablespoons of vinegar.
- Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency (about 20-30 minutes).
- Once thickened, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Slice the baguette into 8 slices, each about 1/2 inch thick.
- Lightly spread softened butter on one side of each baguette slice.
- For unbuttered sides, layer each with:
- 1 tablespoon of cherry tomato jam
- A generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese
- A sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese
- A basil leaf or a few chopped basil leaves.
- Place the assembled sandwiches in the preheated panini press or skillet.
- If using a skillet, press down with a heavy pan or spatula to ensure good contact.
- Grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-5 minutes per side.
- Remove the panini from the grill or skillet and allow to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cherry Tomato Jam and Mozzarella Panini with Parmesan and Basil!
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes for the jam to maximize the sweetness and flavor.
- Be sure to let the cherry tomato jam cool slightly before assembling the panini to avoid making the bread soggy.
- Toast the baguette slices lightly before adding the ingredients to give your panini a nice crunch.
- Use good quality, low-moisture mozzarella for the best melting and texture in your panini.
- Fresh basil leaves add a wonderful aroma and taste; don't skip this step!
- For an extra layer of flavor, brush the outside of the baguette slices with olive oil before grilling.
