Pizza Panini
Day 4 of 5 Days of Sandwiches and I bring you Pizza Panini, an idea that Ken came up with and it is quick, easy, and delicious!!! Craving homemade pizza but don’t want the hassle of making the dough.
Try a pizza panini. We have a panini maker and nothing could be easier for a delicious sandwich than that!! In addition, there are endless combinations you can make that really make it feel like a meal!!
Put your own toppings in. Also, let the kids design their own!! It is fun, nutritious, easy, and fast!! When we are talking sandwiches for dinner you do need to bump it up just slightly but this is not hard at all. ENJOY!!

Brilliant! So much easier than making a full pizza. I don’t have a panini press *sad face* but I can still do this in a frying pan like a grilled cheese. yum!
