Panini Ingredients

Method

Panini Preparation

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cranberry-White Cheddar Spread

    In a small bowl, mix the cranberry sauce with shredded white cheddar cheese until well combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Panini

    Spread the cranberry-white cheddar mixture on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Layer roasted turkey, roasted butternut squash, and caramelized onions on two slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches.

  4. 4

    Grill the Panini

    Heat a panini press or skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted. If using a skillet, press down on the sandwich with a spatula.

  5. 5

    Serve

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