Although the panini originated in Italy,
literally meaning, a little bread, the French have
embraced the panini and today's recipe honors
that with
Nutella and strawberries as the stars in this
sweet panini and what could be more French for breakfast
than Nutella (OK, so Nutella was invented by the Italians but
the French have heartily adopted it!)
I made today's panini on homemade
French bread
but you can make it on any crusty, good quality bread.
Just spread the Nutella on one side and top with fresh
sliced strawberries. Top with the second slice of bread
and butter the outside or use cooking spray, then
toast until golden in a hot panini maker.
Our panini maker is one of our
most used appliances. The children
love to come home from school and make
a panini for themselves.
Since this one was a sweet panini, I finished it off with
a dusting of powdered sugar. Now this makes a really
fun breakfast for a special treat.
The pure pleasure of the panini maker is that it creates
a moist inside with a crusty, crunchy exterior.
We have a saying at our house - "You could put rocks in
a panini sandwich and it would be delicious!" Not really,
but we haven't had a bad panini yet.
