I love panini's! Today when I was looking at blogs I saw somebody had made a homemade panini and really wanted one. Am I the only one that struggles with what to make for lunch everyday? It seems like most choices are quick and unhealthy. Anyways, I thought of this for lunch and it turned out great.It isn't really a recipe, but more just whatever you would like. I put turkey meat, bacon, avocado, mozzarella cheese, and carmelized onions and peppers.
This is a picture of the peppers and onions. I like them to be just starting to carmelize. They are sweet and still really delicious. Anyways, after I had layered the sandwich together, I buttered both sides and pressed in my George Foreman grill.
It was delicious. Alex ate it up too. He is a really good eater. I think it would have been better with pepper jack cheese and maybe a chipotle sauce. Does anybody know how to make one or a good chipotle sauce to buy? I really like it in restaurants, but haven't ever had it at home.
Anyways.....delicious!
Cut slits in the side of the dough.
Fold up the flaps that you created to completely enclose the meat and cheese.
Make sure all holes are crimped together so it doesn't leak out.
Bake according to your bread directions. This was 350 for 15-20 min.
This is the yummy, gooey inside. So good. We have to now make two of these every time because the kids love it.
