Bistro Apple Panini image

My family loves panini press recipes. The bacon, apple and tarragon in this recipe go together so well. If you don't have a panini maker or an indoor grill, you can easily pan-fry or broil these excellent sandwiches.-Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

I added a little bit of dijon mustard to the panini and it was even better.

This panini is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken.

I substituted goat cheese for the brie and it was still delicious.
