  1. What an excellent sandwich! The crispy grilled ciabatta, tangy blue cheese, sweet fig preserves, peppery (baby) arugula....mmmmm....perfect! I used ciabatta rolls, rather than a loaf, and did eyeball a few of the ingredients. I just use a Foreman grill to make panini, and it works quite well. Thanks for posting!
