How To Make a Panini

MAKE AOLI

Stir together the mayo and balsamic vinegar to create a flavor infused sandwich sauce. Spread the mayo mixture on both sides of the bread.

ADD INGREDIENTS

Fill the sandwich with the turkey, mozzarella, tomato and basil then place on the hot griddle or sandwich press. 

COOK SANDWICH

No need to butter the bread, the heat will crisp up the edges of the bread, without making it too greasy to hold. If you would like to add butter, you can definitely do that too. 

Grill the sandwich until the cheese is melted and the outside of the sandwich is nice and crisp.
