Ingredients
  

For the Caraway Slaw

  • ½ Head green cabbage thinly sliced
  • 3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Teaspoons caraway seeds toasted
  • ½ Teaspoon honey

  • 8 Slices sourdough bread
  • 8 Slices Swiss Cheese
  • 12 Slices black forest ham

Instructions
 

  • Make the slaw. Toast the caraway seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant; about 5 minutes. Mix all of the ingredients for the slaw together in a large bowl and toss to coat. Let the slaw sit for at least 15 minutes before using. Can be made the day before.
  • Heat a panini press. Lightly butter each side of the bread. Spread mustard on one slice of bread and then layer the cheese, ham, slaw, and pickles. Cover with the other slice of bread and careful place in panini press. Close lid and cook until the cheese is melted and there are clear grill marks on the bread.
  • Enjoy immediately!
