It amazes me at how different a sandwich can taste just bu toasting it! You can make this honey bacon club panini without cooking it in a panini press. However, it is so much better if you do.
I love to get my rolls for these sandwiches from Costco. You can use what is considered a ciabatta or a torta roll. The quality of meat used can also make a big difference in how good this sandwich can taste. You can use a lower quality to save costs, but a good quality meat can make such a diffenece when it comes to take.
This sandwich has what you would expect in a club sandwich. You have turkey, ham, and bacon. Additionally, there is cheese, lettuce, and tomato. The cheese of choice on this one is munster cheese. It has a soft and creamy texture. However, you can swap that out for what ever cheese you prefer.
The last element for this honey bacon club panini is a homemade honey mustard sauce. I am not a fan of straight forward yellow mustard, but I love me some honey mustard. This honey mustard only takes 3 ingredients – mayonnaise, mustard, and honey. It adds some tang, sweetness, and creaminess.
