Ingredients
Panini2 slices of whole grain bread, thinly sliced0.5 ounces goat cheese3 to 5 strawberries2 or 3 basil leaves, whole or roughly chopped2 oz thinly slice grilled chickenblack pepper, freshly ground2 tsp butter, less if you'd likeBalsamic Honey Sauce2/3 cup balsamic vinegar1/3 cup honey
*Spread a layer of goat cheese over both slices of bread.
*Slice your strawberries relatively thinly. Arrange strawberries over one slice of bread, and basil on the
other.
*Sprinkle both sides with black pepper, and lay the basil slice face down on top of the strawberry slice.
*layer sliced chicken on one side.
1. To make the balsamic honey sauce, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the liquid is reduced by about half (15 minutes or more). Pour the liquid into a small bowl to cool.
2. Heat a small to medium skillet (cast iron is best) over medium heat. Melt one teaspoon of butter in the skillet, then add the sandwich. Cover it with a plate or appropriately sized dish and weigh it down with something heavy, like canned beans or a cast iron skillet. Cook until the bottom of the bread is lightly browned, about two to three minutes, then lift the
sandwich from the pan, add another pat of butter, let it melt, and return the sandwich to repeat on the other side. Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm with a side of honey balsamic sauce for dipping.
