1
Toast the hazelnuts until fragrant. Meanwhile, reduce the pomegranate balsamic vinegar with a dash of sugar to create a drizzle; this can be made ahead.
2
On the bottom layer of bread, spread the brie cheese—this is where the heat will apply first during grilling.
3
Spread a layer of fig spread over the cheese.
4
Cover the entire sandwich with sliced prosciutto, then drizzle with the balsamic reduction.
5
Add arugula for a peppery touch.
6
Add another layer of brie, season with ground black pepper, scatter the toasted crushed hazelnuts, and top with another thin layer of fig spread.
7
Heat a panini press or cast iron griddle. Grill the sandwich for less than three minutes total (about two minutes per side) until the cheese melts and the bread gets grill marks.
8
Let the sandwich rest for about one minute before cutting.
