I have a local eatery who makes an amazing flatbread sandwich. This panini is based on their chicken pesto sandwich. I recommend pane turano, or you may use a sturdy sourdough.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for your paninis. A sturdy bread will hold up well to the grilling process and will help to prevent the sandwich from falling apart.
  • Don't overload your paninis. Too much filling will make the sandwich difficult to grill and may cause the bread to become soggy.
  • Grill your paninis on a hot grill. This will help to create a crispy exterior and will melt the cheese quickly.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook your paninis in a skillet on the stovetop. Just be sure to preheat the skillet over medium heat and to grease it lightly.
  • Serve your paninis immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
