Equipment

  • Panini Grill. Grill Pan, or Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients

Basil Mayonnaise:

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil finely chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Dash of white pepper
  • Dash of cayenne pepper

Sandwich:

  • 4 slices of French bread
  • Basil mayonnaise
  • Extra sharp white cheddar
  • Turkey sliced
  • Tomato sliced
  • Avocado sliced

Instructions

  • Make your basil mayonnaise by combining the mayonnaise, basil, minced garlic, sea salt to taste, a dash of white pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
  • Preheat your panini grill, grill pan, or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Make your sandwich by spreading some of the basil mayonnaise on both slices of bread, then layer with a little cheese, turkey, tomato, avocado, and a little more cheese. Place the other slice of bread on top.
  • Place into your panini pan (or grill pan / cast iron skillet). Cook for 5, or until crispy and golden brown. Side Note: Flip the sandwich over and cook until golden brown if you are using a pan.
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy!
  • Side Note:  I always cook my paninis dry, but feel free to butter your bread before grilling.
