For a quick meal tonight, and another beat the heat dinner, Brian and I whipped up some paninis. I went to Trader Joe's and got our favorite sourdough bread and some good meats and cheeses. We tried out havarti cheese, I've heard it's good and melts like a dream, and that it does. You can really put anything on a panini that you'd like. I use to get a panini at The Corner Bakery that had dejion mustard, ham, tomatoes, and Swiss cheese. I used that as my inspiration tonight. I switched up the Swiss for havarti, used ham and turkey and also added grilled onion and spinach. Brian added sun dried tomatoes to his also. The result was a very tasty treat. Filling too, good source of protein and veggies! So go create paninis and let me know what delicious combinations you come up with.
Melissa, you should try adding jalapeno jellies to your paninis. To. Die. For! I put a cranberry jalapeno on my turkey and Havarti. For roast beef and Swiss (or Muenster), I use an apricot jalapeno. There's a great bakery in Draper, Utah, that sells it. It's called Hagerman's. Get Kellie to take some home at Christmas. Or, I can share my versions with you ... although theirs are much better!
