Instructions

As needed Oil spray 1 large onion (8 oz.), peeled, and sliced into 1/3 inch thick slices 3 Tbsp. whole grain mustard 8 slices sourdough bread 12 oz. ham, thinly sliced 8 oz. sliced Monterey Jack cheese 1 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced

Heat a Panini press on medium-high heat. When the press is hot, lightly spray the press with oil. Lay all of the onion slices on the press and close the lid. Cook for 5 minutes until the onions are soft.
Meanwhile, spread mustard on each of 4 slices of the bread.
When onions are finished cooking, divide the onion mixture among the 4 slices of bread that have mustard on them. Top each with 3 oz. of ham, then 2 oz. of cheese, and ¼ of the avocado slices.
Place the remaining bread slices on each sandwich and place in the Panini press two at a time.
Close the lid and cook for 3–4 minutes until hot and the cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining two sandwiches. Serve immediately.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
