Bistro Apple Panini
My family loves panini press recipes. The bacon, apple and tarragon in this recipe go together so well. If you don’t have a panini maker or an indoor grill, you can easily pan-fry or broil these excellent sandwiches.—Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota
Ingredients
- 12 thick-sliced bacon strips, cut in half
- 1 medium apple, thinly sliced

- 12 slices sourdough bread
- 6 slices Havarti cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Directions
