This is the first time I have used my Breville panini maker.  I won this tool in a giveaway from Le Brea Bakery and as most of you know, I love sandwiches and make them almost every Sunday. This panini maker is interesting because it not only cooks the sandwich but it seals it.  I do not know how else to explain it.  I want to play around with different bread choices so I can get the crust I love but also the size that fits the machine.  The machine is great because it is self contained and easy to clean.  It is small and makes 2 sandwiches at one time.  This is not a sponsored post so I am trying to give some basic insights into the machine.  This sandwich is one of those recipes where I take advantage of what is in the fridge.  I had some queso fresco cheese and some Ajver spread – a Mediterranean condiment or appetizer spread.

This turkey panini looks like it was purchased at a deli sandwich shop! This is the way to eat sandwiches. Really love that toasted bread!
Thank you for those very kind words.
Panini look delicious and love the clicks!
Turkey Panini’s sound so simple and easy. I just purchases some great deli turkey breast today and this will be perfect to make for my lunch!
Thx for stopping by Heidy.
Hi Peter! I love panini sandwiches. There’s just something about the crispy outside with the warn gooey, melt-y cheese on the inside. I also have a panini maker my husband and I were given which I do not utilize nearly enough. I may just need to dust it off and try this out!
I agree totally with your description. I have to tell you that ultimately, I love to cook them in a skillet and top them with a weight to get both the grill marks and the smash down effect.
