Crab Melt Panini

Today was definitely a good cooking day. I needed to do some work - but than can wait till the evening - I was all into cooking this morning.

So - to repeat myself - I am a Williams Sonoma fan - our friend butters turned us onto the store - he and his wife gave us a gift certificate a year or so ago - the rest is history - so you go in there and they have their themes - earlier in the Summer it was the panini grill - and a panini cookbook next to it. I waited and waited and finally last Thursday I bought the grill and the cookbook.

Today I tried the crab melt - it was literally melting in your mouth it was so good - and it looked like the picture in the book. I used Vermont hot dog buns - maybe try a different roll next time. I also used gruyere instead of cheddar - I am not a cheddar fan.

The next panini adventure is the turkey with brie and apples and a sweet recipe - cinnamon-apple stuffed pancakes - I am prepared for this one with the Calvados the recipe calls for - never had Caldos in the house - had a couple of times in a French restaurant - went to get a bottle - hmmm - expensive - maybe I should have stayed with the alternative - apple cider.
