YUM! Made as directed, and I agree, the balsamic takes it over the top! Fantastic and easy recipe, I highly recommend trying it!!

YUM! I had gotten ingredients to make this very sandwich and was going to make paninis for dinner but would not have thought to add the balsamic...that addition is genius. Like a caprese salad in a sandwich and with the prosciutto...just awesome. The only adaptation is that I rubbed a clove of garlic directly on the bread and applied the dressing directly to the bread before grilling. LOVE THIS!

YUMMY just had this for supper after a stressful day when i needed fast and good. The balsamic and oil makes a big difference to it, not the run of the mill panini yet not fancy. Truly enjoyed it.

Mmmm, the flavours in this are beaut! I used a loaf of Turish bread as I couldn't get my hands on the ciabatta and it worked well. Delicious!!
