Very good. Love the taste of the pesto in this. I scaled this down to one sandwich, and had to use a sharp cheddar, as I was out of gouda. Delish. Thanks! -
As I said in another panini review, I got on a panini kick when Austin got iced in for 3 days, last winter. I tried several recipes, and I really enjoyed this one. I think the pesto makes it unique; the flavor goes a long way! Thanks!
