Makes 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter, divided
- 3 large onions, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 dried figs, sliced
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 12 slices Italian bread (1/2 inch thick)
- 8 ounces Asiago cheese, sliced
- 12 thin slices prosciutto
- 3/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
- Balsamic glaze, optional
Directions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onions, sugar and salt; cook and stir for about 15 minutes or until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook for 30-40 minutes or until deep golden brown, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, place figs, water and honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, until liquid is almost evaporated, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat panini maker or indoor electric grill. Layer 6 slices of bread with Asiago cheese, prosciutto, goat cheese, caramelized onions and figs; top with remaining bread. Spread outsides of sandwiches with remaining butter.
- Cook sandwiches, covered, until bread is browned and cheese is melted, 4-5 minutes. If desired, drizzle with balsamic glaze.
