Panini Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced red onion and sauté for about 10-15 minutes until caramelized, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Panini

    Spread basil pesto on one side of each ciabatta bread piece. Layer with sliced roasted turkey, bacon (cooked until crispy), caramelized onions, tomato (sliced), and provolone cheese.

  3. 3

    Grill the Panini

    Close the sandwich with the other piece of ciabatta, pesto side down. Preheat a panini press or skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwich for about 4-5 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm.
