An exquisitely delicious sandwich which we so enjoyed for a leisurely weekend brunch. :) I used my Recipe #136636 which blended superbly with the ham and brie, and crusty ciabatta. Thank you so much for sharing this sandwich, Vicki! Made for Ali Baba's Babes for ZWT 5.

I made this for lunch today! YUMMY! I love ham and I love brie and I love Paninis, but never thought to put them all together! I just used the ham and brie and added a few bannana peppers and mayo. This was a graet panini! Made for ZWT5 - Epicurean Queens

Great sandwich! I don't have a panini press so I just used a good ol' skillet to grill these in. I don't enjoy olives so I used a fig spread in place of the tapenade, it was a great choice! The fig and brie were great compliments to the ham! Made for Las Mistico Magicos Sirenas - ZWT5.

I really enjoyed this sandwich. I used recipe #81211 for the bread, and recipe #136636 for the tapenade, but just put a thin coat of it on the bread, so the strong flavor wouldn't overwhelm the ham and cheese. For the cheese, I used on of my favorites, Cambozola. I skipped the arugula, as I don't care for it. This made a great lunch, served with a bunch of grapes on the side. Made for ZWT5 by one of the Cooks with Dirty Faces.

Vicki, I'm sorry but this sandwich disappointed me. I love each of the ingredients individually, when put together, the combination just didn't work for me. I used the olive tapenade recipe that you recommended and out the arugula. Made for ZWT, please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most.
