Artichoke and Fontina Panini

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

This easy recipe for an artichoke and fontina panini sandwich pairs creamy fontina cheese with tangy marinated artichokes for a grilled cheese extravaganza of flavor!

I don’t know why I don’t haul out my panini press more often, because whenever I do, delicious things always happen. Who knew that flattening things could be so fun and scrumptious?  

At this point, I have realized that putting pretty much anything between two pieces of bread and squishing it under high panini press heat will result in something good.

And while I love so many panini-ed things this artichoke and fontina panini was particularly wonderful, probably because I adore both artichokes and fontina.

This is a lovely rich panini sandwich, mainly because of the fontina which is a wonderful, high-flavored cheese. (I sound very official, don’t I? But trust me on the fontina. Yum.)

The artichokes are the kind that come marinated in the little glass jar, so they have a nice tang to them. Ciabatta bread is usually in the bakery section of the supermarket, but honestly any old substantial bread or roll will do.

You just want something strong enough to hold the cheese and the artichokes — in other words, Wonder Bread will not do. Even though I do adore it in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

So there you have it, the latest episode in my ongoing panini love affair.  Enjoy!

    This sounds sooo good. I should never read your blog when I’m hungry. I have a meal planned, then I see something here and want to change my mind.
