Panini's

This past summer I have been on a "panini-kick" & have enjoyed making & eating these yummy sandwiches for lunch & dinner. I first fell in love with the Tomato, Basil, Mozzerella panini at Panera Bread & after studying the ingredients in the sandwich I thought I could easily whip one of these up at home. 

So I went out & bought a Cuisinart Panini Maker at Kohl's:

 

Then I bought the ingredients to replicate the Panera sandwich.

Tomato, Mozzarella, Basil Panini

Ciabatta bread

Sun-dried tomato spread

Mozzarella cheese ball

1 small, ripe tomato

fresh basil

Layer all ingredients on the sandwich & toast in panini press for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. I must say it is pretty much EXACT to the Panera sandwich & cost much less!

I also love this sandwich:

Avocado, Swiss, Turkey panini:

Ciabatta bread

Chipotle mayo

deli turkey

deli baby swiss cheese

sliced avocado

sliced red onion

1 small tomato, sliced

Layer all ingredients on the sandwich & toast in panini press for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted:

Mmmm Mmmm good!!!
