Why You Should Add Granola to Your Paninis

I’ll admit the idea to add granola is a little odd. Trust me, though, it’s awesome. Especially when you are already playing with sweet and salty.

We use a panini press, but you could certainly use the stove top for this. Line up slices of smoked turkey, sharp cheddar cheese and apples on mustard and mayo slathered bread.

Butter the outer sides of the bread and press a bunch of granola into the butter. Onto the panini press it goes and in minutes you have one seriously amazing sandwich. Melted cheese, warm turkey, a sweet crunch from apples and crunchy buttery granola!
