    Name a sandwich that brings back happy memories.
     
    Go on...take a minute.  For me, it's grilled cheese sandwiches.  I have always love them and my husband loves them too and we even enjoy them for dinner at least once a week.  
     
    Today I'm going to share with you a new twist on an old favorite with these Grilled Pesto Panini Sandwiches.  
     

    A few years ago my husband gave me a panini grill pan to use on top of the stove; which I love. Since becoming a Pampered Chef Independent Consultant I've discovered Pampered Chef's grill pan! 
     
    It's great and it makes the best grilled sandwiches.  I love making grilled cheese sandwiches with it and my husband loves these pesto panini sandwiches!

    This is the grill pan I have and I love it. I don't always use the weighted top as I find it does make the sandwiches really flat, but the grill pan is wonderful.  It's non-stick and gives great
    grill marks on the bread.  
     

    Let's Check out the Recipe!

    My husband and I loved these pesto panini sandwiches and have had 
    them a few times for dinner.  I usually make them when we're having soup for dinner.  
    Grilled Pesto Panini Sandwiches are a delicious way to enjoy a childhood favorite sandwich from Walking on Sunshine Recipes.
     

    This is the sun dried tomato pesto we used.  It's really good.

    I'm going to use it again in a recipe for chicken stuffed with 

    this pesto and mozzarella cheese.

      Do you use both pestos in the same sandwich or separate sandwiches?

        No, I used them separately on different sandwiches. Thank you so much for visiting! I hope you try the recipe and come back and let me know how you enjoyed it. 🙂

      Dear Lois, a ham and swiss sandwich is up there as one of my favorites...it brings back great memories of my dad. We would pack a picnic and go fishing and those were always the best days. This pesto panini is just wonderful! I know my daughter would love it too. Just added this to my list! xo, Catherine
