Italian "Stuffed" Toast (Toast Farcito) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 slices prosciutto
2 slices fontina cheese
4 slices thinly sliced sandwich bread
1/4 cup chopped giardiniera (pickled Italian vegetables)
2 hot pickled peppers (optional)

Preparation

Heat a panino press according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Place 1 slice prosciutto and 1 slice fontina cheese onto a slice of bread; repeat with remaining prosciutto, fontina cheese, and slice of bread. Add 1/2 of the giardiniera on top of each cheese layer and top sandwiches with remaining bread slices, creating 2 sandwiches.
Cook each panino in the press until the cheese has melted and the bread has toasted, about 3 minutes. Serve with hot pickled peppers on the side.
