Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create your amazing Turkey, Avocado and Bacon Panini:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and lay them out on your countertop for easy assembly.
2. Spread Mayonnaise: Take the slices of bread and spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice.
3. Layer Turkey and Bacon: On the non-spread side, layer the turkey slices and place cooked bacon on top.
4. Add Avocado: Spread the sliced avocado evenly over the turkey and bacon.
5. Add Cheese: Place a slice of cheese on top of the avocado to create that melty goodness.
6. Season: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on top to enhance the flavors.
7. Top with Bread: Place another slice of bread on top, with the mayonnaise side facing out.
8. Preheat Panini Press or Skillet: Heat your panini press or a skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, lightly coat it with olive oil or butter for added flavor.
9. Grill the Panini: Place the assembled sandwich in the press or skillet. If using a skillet, press down with a spatula for even grilling. Grill for about 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
10. Flip Over: If using a skillet, carefully flip the sandwich after 3-5 minutes to brown the other side. Grill for an additional 3-5 minutes.
11. Check for Doneness: Make sure the cheese has melted, and the bread has a beautiful golden color.
12. Slice and Serve: Remove the panini from heat and let it sit for a minute. Slice it in half diagonally and serve warm.
