Instructions

1. Put the figs, 1 cup water, the balsamic and the sugar in a small pot and bring to a simmer.
2. Simmer for about 15 minutes, until the figs have softened and the liquid has reduced and thickened. Let cool.
3. Once cool, puree in a food processor for 20 to 30 seconds until smooth.
4. Heat a griddle over medium-low heat or heat a panini press.
5. Slice one focaccia square in half. Spread a thin layer of fig spread on the inside of both halves.
6. Lay a couple of cheese slices on the bottom half, then top with 4 ounces of mortadella.
7. Close the sandwich and lightly brush the outside bread with olive oil.
8. Griddle until golden and warm, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
