Ingrédients

  • 8 slices crusty country bread (about 7 x 3-½ x ½)
  • 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
  • 4 ounces Gouda cheese, shredded or very thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces thinly sliced smoked turkey breast
  • 12 thin slices tomato (beefsteak) or 16 thin slices Roma tomato
  • 2 ounces very thinly sliced red onion

Preparation

  1. Preheat the Cuisinart™ Griddler in the closed grill position on 375°F.
  2. Lightly brush one side of each slice of bread with the olive oil. Lay 4 slices of bread on the work surface oiled side down. Spread lightly with mustard.
  3. Build the sandwiches in this order -cheese, smoked turkey, tomato - using equal amounts of each item on each sandwich. Top with the remaining sliced bread, oiled side up.
  4. Lay two sandwiches on the bottom grill plate of the preheated Griddler™ evenly spaced. Close Griddler™ and apply light pressure to handle for about 30 seconds. Grill panini for 3 to 3-½ minutes.
  5. Remove to a rack and keep warm (an oven preheated to 175°F). Grill remaining 2 sandwiches in the same way. Cut in half on the diagonal to serve.
