If you’ve been craving something a little different, these strawberry grilled cheese paninis will hit the spot.

I make panini sandwiches all the time and I love trying new flavor combos like Caprese, pumpkin, prosciutto with spinach and fig and now this strawberry version with turkey, cheese and bacon.

I’m a huge fan of gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches! When I saw an un-grilled strawberry sandwich in one of my old magazines the other day, I knew it would translate to a panini beautifully.

Ingredients – What You’ll Need

  • Fresh strawberries – frozen strawberries will be too wet and smooshy
  • Thinly sliced turkey – I love using pepper turkey
  • Spreadable cream cheese
  • Finely chopped pecans
  • Swiss cheese slices – (see below for other options)
  • Artisan bread – choose your fave deli bread
  • Cooked bacon strips

Substitutions and Additions

  • Instead of cream cheese, you could use mascarpone or ricotta.
  • Instead of Swiss, use Brie, mozzarella, cheddar, Provolone, Monterey Jack or goat cheese.
  • If you don’t have fresh strawberries, you could use a bit of strawberry jam or preserves.
  • I like using thick-cut deli bread for paninis but if you only have tender sandwich bread, you can use it. You just might want to use a griddle rather than a press.

How to Make Strawberry Grilled Cheese Paninis

STEP 2: Top with Swiss cheese, pepper turkey, strawberries, bacon and the other slice of bread.

Cut in half for easier eating. The sweet and savory combo works beautifully so make enough for the whole family.
