Too good... can be diagonally cut and served as a snack or its fabulous as a meal too. Of course the recipe calls for a little planning, but its worth it... it''s definitely appealing to serve these panini instead of toast and grilled sandwich to guests...
Chinese panini, it really nice and quick recipe with lots of veggies.. and to add more crunch the crispy noodles just works the best.. i like to have this panini.. crispy from out also..
