    I made this for the first time a LONG time ago and didn't review it here! It was delicious and have made it quite regularly. My husband loves it and isn't even a huge vinegar fan! Thanks! Thread link to the IMI ----> Panzanella Panini

    Made this for a light dinner for myself, and it was delicious. I used smoked Mozzarella, because that's what I had, fresh basil and fresh tomatoes and onions, as directed. I didn't over stuff my sandwich on purpose, because I actually love the taste of the bread, too! :) Wouldn't change a thing, but a lil Parmesan would be good freshly grated over the olive oil just before grilling, I think. I grilled these as do all my "panini" style sammiches...on my cast iron grill pan, with my bacon press. :) Thanks, Mrs W, for a nice light, but full of flavor, dish! :)
