| Turkey Pesto Paninis with Pepperjack |
I definitely think a Panini press is a want, not a need when
it comes to kitchen appliances, much like the waffle maker or the ice cream
maker (unless you’re us, in which case the ice cream maker is very much a need). That being said, there’s just
something about the way a Panini press transforms an ordinary sandwich into
something special that I’m willing to argue it can err on the side of a needed
appliance!
Whether it’s the toasty bread or the melty cheese, the
sandwich coming out of the Panini press is infinitely more exciting and doesn’t
take but five extra minutes than the hastily assembled coldcut sandwich. The recipe below isn't anything earth-shattering, and I didn't even include quantities because you can make it according to your tastes, but I will say it was a dang good combination of ingredients and I highly recommend! That being said, take survey of the contents of your fridge and see what you can come up with. Tell me, what's your favorite sandwich?
