Turkey Paninis With Candied Bacon And Avocado Recipes

TURKEY, AVOCADO AND BACON PANINI

Steps:

• Cut Ciabatta rolls in half. On the bottom slice put mashed avocado, tomato, 2-3 slices of turkey and 3 half slices of bacon. Add 1/4 of the cheese on top.
• Put the top half of the roll on top and spray with cooking oil.
• If you have a panini maker, on medium heat, place two sandwiches on the surface and shut the lid. Cook for 3-5 minutes so that the sandwich is heated, and cheese is melted. Repeat for the other two sandwiches. If you are using a frying pan, on medium heat place two sandwiches and press them with a spatula occasionally. Cook until roll browns and cheese melts. Repeat for the other two sandwiches. Serve while hot.
