Ingredients

  • vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 16 thin slices pancetta
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 12 dried black mission figs
  • 3 tablespoons brandy or apple juice
  • 1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted (see cook's notes)
  • 4 ciabatta rolls, halved lengthwise
  • 8 ounces brie, rind removed, cut into 8 slices (see cook's notes)

Directions

  1. For the pancetta: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 2 baking sheets with vegetable oil cooking spray. Arrange the pancetta in a single layer on each baking sheet. Bake until golden and crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  2. For the jam: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, figs, and brandy (or apple juice) over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Pour into a food processor and add the hazelnuts. Blend until smooth and thick.
  3. Preheat a panini press. Spread the bottom half of each roll with the jam. Place 4 slices of cooked pancetta on top and add 2 slices of cheese. Place the top half of the roll on top of the cheese. Grill in a panini maker until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool slightly and serve.
  4. -To toast the hazelnuts, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool completely before using.
  5. - For easier slicing, freeze the cheese for 15 minutes
