    Title: Gruyere, Apple, and Fig Jam Panini
    Categories: Five, Breads, Fruits, Cheese
    Yield: 2 Sandwiches

    2 tb Butter; room temp
    4 sl Rustic whole-grain bread;
    - from a dense bakery loaf
    2 tb Fig jam
    4 oz Gruyere cheese; thin sliced
    1/2 Granny Smith apple; cored,
    - thin sliced

    Heat the panini press to medium-high heat. (Or if not
    using a panini press, preheat a cast iron frying pan on
    medium high heat.)

    For each sandwich, spread butter on two slices of bread.
    Turn the slices over and spread a layer of fig jam on the
    other side of each slice. To one slice add a layer of
    sliced cheese, several apple slices, and a layer of more
    cheese. Top the sandwich with the other slice of bread,
    buttered side up.

    Place up to two panini at a time in the preheated panini
    maker, and close the lid closed. Grill until the cheese is
    melted and the bread is toasted, about 4 to 5 minutes. (Or
    if making a grilled cheese sandwich instead of a panini,
    place in heated cast iron pan, cook until one side is
    browned, use a metal spatula, carefully flip the sandwich
    over and toast on the other side until the cheese is
    melted. You may need to lower the heat on the pan to allow
    enough time for the cheese to melt without burning the
    bread.)

    Yield: Makes 2 sandwiches.

    Title: Figs In A Blanket
    Categories: Fruits, Breads, Cheese, Wine, Chilies
    Yield: 12 Servings

    12 Fried mission figs; halved
    - lengthwise
    3/4 c Dry red wine
    3 tb Honey
    1 ts Crushed red pepper flakes
    1 (1") cinnamon stick
    8 oz Tube crescent rolls
    1/4 c Gorgonzola cheese
    1 lg Egg
    Sesame or poppy seeds

    Set oven @ 375┬║F/190┬║C.

    In a small saucepan stir together figs, wine, honey, red
    pepper and the cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, reduce
    heat to low and simmer 10 minutes or until figs are
    softened. Remove figs with a slotted spoon, reserving
    wine mixture. Discard cinnamon stick.

    Unroll dough, separate into eight triangles and cut each
    lengthwise into three narrow triangles. Spread 1/2
    teaspoon gorgonzola on each triangle and top with a fig
    half. Roll pastry around fig and press to seal. Arrange
    point-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan.

    Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush
    top of each pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with
    seeds. Bake 11-14 minutes or until golden brown.

    Serve warm with reserved wine mixture for dipping,
    if desired.
