Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Boursin cheese (garlic & herb)
- 2 slices Artisan bread (ciabatta or sourdough)
- 3 slices Thinly sliced deli ham
- 0.5 cups Fresh arugula
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Spread 1 tablespoon of Boursin cheese on each slice of bread. If desired, spread Dijon mustard on one of the slices for an added tangy kick.
Step 2
Layer the ham evenly on one slice of bread, followed by the arugula. Top with the second slice of bread, Boursin cheese side down, to form a sandwich.
Step 3
Butter the outside faces of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter per side to ensure golden grilling.
Step 4
Heat a panini press or a non-stick skillet on medium heat. If using a skillet, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil for even browning.
Step 5
Place the sandwich in the panini press or skillet. If using a skillet, press the sandwich down with a heavy pan or spatula to achieve crispness.
Step 6
Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is warm and gooey.
Step 7
Remove the panini from the heat, let it rest for 1 minute, and slice in half for serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Boursin Parisian Panini with a side of mixed greens or chips!
