Serves 2
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 slices of your favorite French bread (baguette, ciabatta, or even NOLA-Style French Bread Rolls for a unique twist)
- 4 ounces Port-Salut, fontina, or Gouda cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive tapenade (store-bought is fine)

Steps to Perfection:
- Preheat the panini press (or a grill pan or skillet without any oil). Reach for that charm surging within you as you let the flavors lead the way.
- Spread some butter on each slice of bread, making sure to douse them evenly. Sprinkle a dash of salt for an additional zest.

- Layer the sliced turkey on top of the olive tapenade. Could life get any better?
- Cover each sandwich with the remaining buttered bread slices.
