I made these two different ways - one with beef and mozzarella and then ham and mozzarella for the kids. We love paninis and these were very good. Thx. Made for Spring Pick and Chef 2011.

Really great sandwich. Used sun-dried tomato pesto because that's what I had. Cooked on panini grill. Thanks for this one KitchenKelly!
