Nutella, Strawberries and Banana Panini

Justin Levy

As one of our wedding gifts Laura and I received a Breville Indoor BBQ & Grill.  What’s so great about this grill is that itnutella has a griddle on one side, grill on the other and can be closed and used as an awesome panini press.  Since getting home from our honeymoon I have been trying different sandwiches, wraps and paninis on it besides using it as an excellent grill.

So, last week while flying through some feeds I came across a recipe for a Nutella Panini.  Never satisfied, I decided to extend this recipe to create an amazing sweet breakfast panini.  What’s even better is that this panini is super easy to make and only takes a few minutes to cook.

Nutella, Strawberries and Banana Panini

Ingredients

2 slices Scala bread (or any other dense and thick bread)
3 tbsp Nutella
1 banana, cut into bite-sized pieces
4-5 strawberries, cut into bite-sized pieces
Spreadable butter
Ground cinnammon
Confectioners sugar

Preparation

  1. Heat panini press on medium-high or “sandwich” setting, depending on your model.  If you don’t have a panini press, you could use a grill or small saucepan and use a tea kettle as a weight on top of the sandwich.
  2. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.  On the other side of the bread spread Nutella on either side.
  3. Lightly toss the strawberries and bananas together and distribute evenly across a side of the bread with Nutella on it.
  4. Put sandwich together and place on panini press, grill or small saucepan with butter side down.  Press/grill for approximately 1 minute on each side or until the Nutella has become warmed and bread is toasted golden brown.
  5. Remove from heating surface, spread a little more butter on one side of sandwich and sprinkle ground cinnammon and confectioners sugar across.
  6. Cut into 2 triangles and serve warm

Enjoy!
