The bread is a key ingredient for this sandwich to taste it’s best. If I am serving a crowd I might use more meat than I would just for the family.  

kracoosin2When I made this platter of panini’s …. you might notice the pesto spread looks different? You can see some red specs? My husband was sent to the grocery and he came home with a pesto that had tomatoes in it. I wasn’t as keen on it but, nobody seemed to notice.

 Slice the bread horizontally and scoop out the fluff. (I have done of half  of this loaf to show you what I mean about the fluff.) You can see it in the front of the photo.

Set out your meats and cheese for some fast layering. If you alternate a few layers of meat the sandwiches look more colorful. ( 3 layers turkey, 3 layers ham, cheese, turkey, repeat- ham, cheese,-  and the last layer salami (I usually only do one layer salami)

Ok .. so I see in this photo my last layer is cheese lol and you can see I didn’t cover every inch of surface on these but, hey…I was making FOUR of these.

Brush the top with olive oil and if you are making this in a pan you might want to brush the bottom too.

  You might find is combination interesting but, trust me it’s delicious. Artichoke, chicken and goat cheese is very satisfying. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope you enjoy. Hugs, Kathy
