At our house….
We love summer. We love sandwiches. We love parties.
So, the other night, we hosted The Ultimate Summer Sandwich Party just because (see above).
To make the perfect sandwich (hot or cold), you need goodies, as my hubby would say:
The hit of the night was a little creation called The Avocado Bacon Panini on Rye. Oh. MY.
Recipe: The Avocado Bacon Panini on Rye
Rye Bread, cut into slices
Fresh tomatoes, onions, sliced avocado
Pancetta (it’s like a thin bacon, usually found in the deli dept) with choice of condiment (hot pepper relish and sweet and spicy mustered were a hit!)
and the secret ingredient……Deli Deluxe‘s new Bacon Cheddar slices.
Assemble:
Panini It (can I make that a verb?):
Serve:
Want to host your own party or just panini your way to a full stomach?

Avocado mixed with some kind if herbage.
Oh, I would def. have to add some crisp bacon.
I like pastrami and love red onions.
Okay, I’m not a big sandwich lover but…I love egg/omelet sandwiches. what I would like is a the jalapeno cheese over a western omelet sandwich on “panninied” italian bread.
I would add olives and banana peppers!
I have to ditto the bacon…also I would probably add some peppers…not sure which though – red or orange, I think!
Oh, and I would like to know where you got those gorgeous plates that the toppings are on – they are very cool!
Definitely pickles and olives!
The Bacon Cheddar with an egg and green onion. Yum!
I would add Granny Smith Apple slices!
I’d add turkey bacon with the sharp cheddar or jalepeno cheddar and maybe add black olives or artichoke hearts, or both. Now I’m REALLY hungry!
great pictures and review! I think that Panini should be a verb especially with that cool Panini Press!!
I would like to make a Mushroom and Jalapeno Panini.
bacon, turkey, red onion, and a bit of crispy greens! Yumm-o!
I would have turkey, ham and the chedder bacon with onion between a couple slices of “everything bread.”
Sharp cheddar, granny smith apples, on sourdough…yum…..thanks
mmmm i would add thin sliced ham and green apple slices to the sharp cheddar and “panini it” on sour dough bread mmmmm!
I’d have to put that yummy cheese on Cajun Roast Beef (Sharp Cheddar) or Mesquite Smoked Turkey (Bacon Cheddar)….my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
I would have to add some roasted veggies to any of the cheese; esp. the jalapeno for hubby. I can taste some roasted zukes will the bacon cheddar. Yum!
Our regular ultimate sandwich is a toasted everything bagel, mayo, avocado, tomato, cheese, meat (roast beef is our favorite) and salt/pepper/Italian seasoning. I’m thinking the Sharp Cheddar would hit the spot.
I would use Texas Toast; a thin layer of mayo or Miracle Whip, then 3 strips of thick cut bacon. Then 2 slices of Bacon Cheddar cheese. Top that with 3 more strips of bacon. “Panini it” and enjoy delicious, cheesy bacon goodness.

If a BLT is a Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato, this should be called a BBC: Bacon, Bacon & Cheese.
Yummy.
sharp cheddar of course!

Sandwich Thins in Wheat with mayo, turkey, avocado, tomato, and spinach with Sharp Cheddar Slice! Yumo!
Cheddar and bacon all the way! It doesn’t need anything else haha
What a fun party! I like regular toppings but my husband is all about cucumbers right now. Add anything spicy and he’s good to go!
I would add just a few alfalfa sprouts to make it look good and make me feel a like I was eating something healthy when really it’s ALL about the cheese!
Sharp cheddar, smoked turkey, peppered bacon, fresh tomatoes and a smidge of mayo.
mmm…I’d do a crazy amazing BLT with the cheddar bacon cheese, bacon slices, a fried egg, lettuce, tomato, and wheat toast.
chipotle mayonnaise,spinach,bacon cheddar cheese slices,smoked ham,tomatoe slices,on a sour dough bread
I would put the sharp cheddar with some smoked turkey, roasted red peppers, red onion, and a kicky grainy mustard! Yum!
Making me hungry!
I would add a thick pile of thinly shaved smoked turkey, garden-fresh tomatoes, bacon sharp cheddar cheese, and a little mayo–piled onto sourdough bread that is lightly buttered before grilling. YUM.
What a fun giveaway! Thank you for hosting! I would add some turkey to the jalapeno cheese along with some spicy mayo on homemade whole wheat bread.
YUM!
We just had the bacon cheddar on burgers the other night and it was AWESOME!! I would like to try it as a grilled cheese next. Oooh, maybe that could be lunch tomorrow.?. For a panini, I would add the tomato, avacado and probably turkey. I’m hungry now.
I’d add honey ham and turkey to super hard Italian bread with a dab of mayo, spicy mustard, and a hint of Italian dressing! YUM! YUM!
Oh boy! I think I would have to try all three!
I don’t understand the disclaimer…how is this not sponsored by Kraft if they are giving the prize packs and its their product?
they aren’t administering the giveaway or picking the winners
Yum. In addition to the cheese, I would add fresh salad greens from our garden and some dijon mustard along with bacon, avocado, and red onion.
I would add dill pickle slices and not just because I am pregnant!
tomatoes fresh from the garden…..
No doubt about it. We love BLT’s. Sourdough bread, thick honeywood smoked bacon, lettuce, home grown tomatoes, mayo and sharp cheddar cheese. NOTHING like it on a hot summer night.
I’d add avacado & onions! My two favorite toppings.
I’d start with Rye bread. I’d add ham, lettuce, tomato, mayo and the jalepeno cheese. That sounds yummy! In fact, I’d love to have one right now! What a fun party!!!!!
I love their garlic herb cheese- sooo good!
But my husband loves any kind of pepper cheese. I’d make him a Southwestern Reuben, with pastrami, jalapeno cheese, salsa ranch dressing, and pickles on rye or cheddar loaf.
Assuming the cheese stays around long enough to make sandwiches, that is!
We do BLT’s at our house. Would love to try cooking one on a Panini grill! We add avocado, lettuce, and I would add either mild or sharp cheddar. So yummy!!
I’d add turkey to it!

Mmmmmm how about wheat bread with spicy brown mustard, deli roast beef, deli deluxe sharp cheddar, home-grown tomatoes and lettuce, and grilled green onions, all pannini-grilled of course. And for my hubby I would add some mayo and avocado, and a pickled jalapeno. Oh now I’m hungry
.
Yum-O! It sounds amazing! And, I love panini’s. I think I would add to the Bacon Cheddar Cheese some lettuce, avocado, red onion, mayo, and chicken deli meat. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! lol…

Love cream cheese/avocado/bacon/turkey/redonion/cheese…:)
I think just the sharp cheese and tomato would be yummy!
How about an egg and some bacon to make a breakfast Panini? Yum! Thanks for the give-away!
I’m thinking that I’d add the sharp or jalapeno to a bunch of veggies from the garden for a veggie panini!

In would add apples or pears.
I would use the bacon cheddar with turkey, ham, tomato and red onion and make a panini club!
I would add some honey barbeque sauce!!
I would have added thinly shaved deli turkey, and doubled up on the avocado!
With the jalapeno I would add avocado, turkey and some pear slices…and maybe some sprouts for good measure.
Thanks!!
ooh they all sound so yummy but my fav would me shaved turkey , cheddar cheese and a honey mustard dressing heated panini style.
Our new favorite condiment is dill relish. It is so good. I’ve gone through several bottles this summer as we love sandwiches and a panini grill is on my wish list! We also love balsamic vinegar – that would be awesome on this panini
Fresh pineapple slices would be so good with the meat and cheese melted. Yummy!
I would add some kalamata olives and grilled red peppers!

I would add mozzarella, pizza sauce, & pepperoni for a Panini Pizza!
Yummmmm – I’m getting hungry reading all these entries. I would love the sharp cheddar w/ avocado, tomato, greens, onions, green peppers, red peppers, cucumbers and sprouts. Maybe a little turkey if I was needing some protein!
I think I will go make a sandwhich for lunch now! ; )
I would sneak in some pepperoncini’s or hot peppers. Yum!
Mmm…sharp cheddar with avocado, bacon and fresh basil leaves.
I would add ham and turkey to the bacon cheddar. I love Paninis!!

Smoked turkey with Sharp Cheddar on sourdough bread. I’d spread grainy mustard on one side and cranberry sauce on the other for a melty taste sensation!
i would have ham, turkey, tomato, lettuce, light mayo on wheat…simple but oh so very good!!!!
I would have spicy mustard, turkey with cheddar cheese.
I would spread on some chipotle mayo. I just mix chipotle paste from Minor’s with real mayo and voilà! It’s tangy and flavorful, with a hint of heat.

YUM!
