Ingredients

  • 4 slices cinnamon raisin bread
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened pinch kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apricot jam (or raspberry or strawberry)

Preparation

  1. Preheat grill in the closed position.
  2. Brush one side of each slice of bread with the butter. Lay 2 slices of bread on a work surface, buttered side down.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, stir the cream cheese, salt, vanilla and sugar together until smooth.
  4. Divide evenly and spread on top of two of the non-buttered sides of the bread. Spread 1 tablespoon of the jam on top of each. Top with remaining bread, buttered side up.
  5. Place sandwiches on the bottom grill plate and close. Grill panini for 2 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
  6. Let rest for 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Cut in half on the diagonal and serve warm.
