Sweet and Savory Paninis Recipe

Sweet and Savory Paninis Recipe

  • 1 (17.3 ounce) package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 12 ounces thinly sliced maple-cured ham
  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • 1 large nectarine, seeded and sliced
  1. Thaw the pastry sheets at room temperature for 40 minutes or until they're easy to handle.
  2. Unfold 1 pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 15×10-inch rectangle. Cut the pastry rectangle lengthwise into 3 (5×10-inch) rectangles. Brush the pastry rectangles with the egg. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet.
  3. Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese on the bottom half of each pastry rectangle. Top each with about 3 slices ham,about 2 tablespoons arugula leaves and 2 slices nectarine. Fold the top halves over the filling and press the edges to seal.
  4. Place each pastry packet one at a time into a panini maker and close the top. Cook for 6 minutes or until the panini is golden. Remove the panini to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 275 degrees F. oven while the remaining paninis are cooked.
