What an awesome sandwich. I took the advice of Sharlene and got rid of some of the fat, but other than that made as directed. I used Kitz homemade French Bread that I had frozen. As with any sandwich that I make with sliced avocado, it keep trying to escape, but it really added a great freshness to this. Thanks for sharing Engrossed.

Very tasty! I was trying to lower the fat a bit so I used non-stick spray instead of the butter and mixed the garlic and red pepper flakes into mixture of egg white and non-fat milk and dipped it using only half the parmesan (I think it would have been difficult to get more parmesan to stick anyway). Those changes brought it down nearly 10g of fat per serving. A fantastic sandwich--one you would expect to see on the menu at a panini cafe. Highly recommended.

I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
