Prosciutto and Provolone Paninis with Fig Jam

By definition, a panini should be neat and elegant—just a slice or two of cheese and a wisp of savory meat, all tucked between thin slices of good bread. We love the sweetness that a smear of fig jam adds. Note: If you do not have a sandwich press, cook the sandwiches in a skillet and press down on them as they cook with another heavy skillet or a spatula.
