Ingredients

• 8 (1/2-inch thick) slices bakery-style white bread
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup raspberry jam
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
• 8 ounces (2 balls) fresh mozzarella, drained and patted dry
• Kosher salt, optional
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

Instructions

1. Special equipment: a panini press
2. Preheat the panini press.
3. Using a pastry brush, brush the bread on both sides with the oil. Spread 1 side of each slice of bread with the raspberry jam. Sprinkle the rosemary over the jam. Cut the mozzarella into 8 slices. Place 2 slices of cheese on 4 of the bread slices. Season the cheese with a pinch of salt, if using. Place the remaining slices of bread on top, jam-side down. Sprinkle the tops with the brown sugar. Press in the panini press for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese has melted and the bread is golden and crispy.
4. Cut the panini in half and serve.
