This panini is a great way to use up leftover pesto. I always have a jar of pesto in my fridge and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not usually a fan of brie, but this panini changed my mind! The cheese was melted and gooey, and it paired perfectly with the pesto and tomatoes. The bread was also perfectly toasted.

This panini was a delightful explosion of flavors! The creamy brie, tangy pesto, and juicy tomatoes complemented each other perfectly. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, providing the perfect vessel for the fillings.
