Jamón Ibérico Panini

While studying in Italy, I became quite fond of the prosciutto-topped panini sold in some of the coffee bars. I make something similar for my sons who, after studying in Spain, introduced the family to jamón ibérico and jamón serrano. (We get it at The Spanish Table, a fun shopping venue for all of us.) I add just a touch of roasted garlic paste. When making these panini, do your jamón justice by using very fresh bread and the nicest sweet butter you can find. Prosciutto serves as a great stand in for the jamon, if that is easier for you. Enjoy!! ;o)
Ingredients
- One 8-inch piece of baguette
