JD and I love cooking, love eating, and love our panini press. We have several favorite grilled sandwiches, but the Caprese Panini has definitely won our hearts! The classic combination of fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil sounds incredibly simple, but their combined tastes are seriously mouthwatering. Plus the balsamic vinegar adds a pleasant oolala factor!

We put a slight twist on Williams-Sonoma's caprese panini recipe by mixing in pesto with the mayo that is spread on each bread slice. It's also good to give the finished product a short 20 second zap in the microwave to ensure the mozzarella is melted to that ooey-gooey-stringy point where the cheese just melts in your mouth. Yummo!!!
