Making Your Garden Betty Panini
It start with my favorite artisan bread , fresh out of the oven . My BFF recently made me a jolt of Lord’s Day - dried tomato tapenade . It was a personal petition after the first jarful she gave me was inhale in one sitting . I wanted to make it last longer this sentence around , so I call on that cupful of homemade tapenade into four loaves of home base - bake tapenade bread . It ’s utter for bruschetta and , as I delightfully happen out , my Garden Betty Panini .
Two slices of bread get all nice and butter up for the grillroom .
I defame on my pet condiment — mayonnaise — although pesto or stone - ground mustard would be godlike , too .
I layer on blockheaded slicing of mature , juicy tomatoes — in this lawsuit , my tangy and brilliantly coloredAnanas Noireheirlooms .
I add a duet large foliage of St. Basil — Mammoth , an Italian sugar - leaf variety , works well for sandwiches because the leafage can grow as bountiful as your hand , so you only need one or two whole leaves .
I top all that with sparse slices of aged Asiago , another slice of tapenade lucre , and then grill the concoction in a panini press . I get it on take heed that satisfying sizzle while the staff of life is toasting and the cheese is melt into the tomatoes .
I raven this slicing of Eden while still standing in the kitchen .
I ’m left with greasy fingers and a crumbly crustal plate . I ’m happy .
Oh , and entrust me — you ’ll want to make another one .
