Butterflying the sausage and then placing it in one long piece on a piece of baguette ensures that it won't slide out of the sandwich.
Makes 2 sandwiches
- One 4-ounces Italian sausage
- Two 6-inch lengths Baguette
- 3 ounces Gorgonzola Dolce or other spreadable blue cheese
- 9 large grapes, cut into thin slices
- Use a sharp Chef's knife to cut the sausage almost in half lengthwise, leaving the two halves just barely attached to each other.
- Gril, broil or pan-fry the butterflied sausage until cook through ; transer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Heat a panini or sandwich press according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Slice the baguette pieces in half lengthwise and spread some cheese on the bottom half of each baguette.
- Lightly press the grape slices into the cheese so they'll stay put ; place a sausage half, flat side down, on top of the grapes.
- Top each sandwich ith the top half of the baguette.
- Put the sandwiches on the press, pull the top down, and cook until they are browned and crisp, 4 to 7 minutes, depending on how hot your machine is.
- Carefully remove from the press and serve immediately.
