Grilled Fresh Mozzarella, Prosciutto, And Fig Jam Sandwich

1. 1

   Split each roll, and layer with the mozzarella and prosciutto.

2. 2

   Spread the top slices with the fig jam, then close up to form sandwiches.

3. 3

   Lightly butter the outside of each sandwich.

4. 4

   Heat a heavy nonstick skillet or panini press over med-high heat.

5. 5

   Place the sandwiches in the pan, working in two batches depending on the size of the pan.

6. 6

   Press the sandwiches or close the grill and brown, turning once or twice, until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted; **you can press the sandwiches by weighting them with something heavy-such as a skillet or wide-bottomed saucepan.

7. 7

   Though the rolls start off as round, once pressed they are considerably flatter and can easily be turned, if careful.

8. 8

   Serve right away, cut on the diagonal.
