Rosemary Ham and Parmesan Panini with Whole Grain Honey Mustard

Rosemary Ham and Parmesan Panini with Whole Grain Honey Mustard | OUR NOURISHING ROOTS

This post is a part of Panini Week!

This was something I threw together one day, and it was such a hit that I kept making it over and over.  I love whole grain mustard in particular, so I end up putting that on as many sandwiches and paninis as possible!

Whole grain mustard is one of my favorite types of mustard, and when you couple it with honey the spice is tempered into a beautifully complex flavor.  But the real star is the toscano pepper cheese, which is very similar to parmesan, but with a little kick!  If you can’t find it, just use a good parm and sprinkle a little pepper on the sandwich.  Yum!

This sandwich always reminds me of Steve Martin whenever I make it.  “I haven’t had arugula in 6 weeks!”  If you know what that movie is based on the quote, withOUT clicking this link to cheat, then you get…bragging rights.

Or virtual brownies or something.  And I’ll think you’re really cool!

Cocoa Almond Butter Sourdough Panini with Fresh Raspberries

Cocoa Almond Butter Panini with Fresh Raspberries | OUR NOURISHING ROOTS

This post is a part of Panini Week!

This panini is a glorious creation that tastes like indulging in a bed and breakfast-esque spread.  It’s all my favorite things together: sourdough, whole cane sugar, honey, almonds, raspberries, vanilla, and cocoa.  Plus, it’s just plain pretty!

Couple it with this homemade cocoa almond spread, and the combination of the sour bite from the bread and raspberries with the sweet chocolate is wonderful.  And like most sweets I make, it’s not too sweet.

Make this for a weekend breakfast, or for a breakfast-for-dinner dinner party.  I think it will be an elegant hit!
