Beef Pesto Panini

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Sandwiches and Wraps

The roast beef and pesto meld into a wonderful flavor combination all bound together by melted cheese.

"My husband LOVED it! Not much could improve this super-easy leftover grilled sandwich. I had to make the pesto from a dry mix so if you use prepared pesto, you can shave off 4 minutes! "
