Florida Strawberry Panini

1 pint Florida strawberries, ¾ of them sliced thin
8 slices sour dough bread (½ inch thick)
½ cup mascarpone cheese (soft Italian cheese)
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
1 jar Florida strawberry jam
Powdered sugar in a shaker, for dusting

Heat a panini press or stove-top griddle to medium heat. Spread the mascarpone on 4 of the sourdough bread slices. Spoon 3 heaping tablespoons of the jam on each of the other 4 slices. Arrange the fresh sliced strawberries in a single layer on top of the jam and close the sandwiches. Brush sandwiches with butter and grill or press until golden brown and bubbly, around 5 minutes. Transfer the panini to a cutting board and dust with powdered sugar. Carefully cut each sandwich in half and serve with whole strawberries, for garnish.
