Smoked ham and sharp cheddar cheese are a great pairing for these toasted panini appetizers, too. Serve them warm for the best results.

    Method: 

    Spread 1/2 tablespoon butter on a slice of bread. Spread 1 tablespoon of plum preserves on top, then add a few slices of turkey and Brie, then a sprinkle of walnuts (optional) and a few arugula leaves. Spread 1/2 tablespoon butter on another piece of bread and press it, buttered-side down, into the sandwich. Set aside. Repeat to create 4 total sandwiches.

    Warm a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and let it melt; swirl the pan around to coat. Place one sandwich in skillet and weigh it down with a heavy pot (or an ordinary brick wrapped in aluminum foil) to compress the sandwich. Toast, compressed, about 1 minute on each side. Repeat with remaining sandwiches and cut each into appetizer-sized slices before serving.
