A Fiesta Breakfast Panini is the perfect pick to add pep to your step every morning. Best of all, you can enjoy a warm, delicious panini that can be whipped up faster than you can say “olé!”
It starts with two slices of ciabatta (or one roll cut in half), which you can think of as flavor containers. They keep all the delicious flavors and textures in one convenient place so you can enjoy every single bite! Once you have the bread ready to go, it’s time for what we consider the most egg-citing part—the eggs. Two egg whites are all you need, and they simply need to be cooked in a pan on medium/high heat for one minute on each side. As your eggs are cooking, grab an avocado and mash, mash, mash. Once you’ve mashed to a spreadable consistency, slowly spread it over one slice of ciabatta.

Once you have all the ingredients ready, it’s stacking time! Top the mashed avocado with salsa, egg whites and cheese. Take a moment to appreciate your nearly-finished masterpiece before placing the second slice of ciabatta on top. Place your sandwich in a preheated panini press and cook it until it’s crispy. If you don’t have a panini press on hand, cook it on the stove! Place the sandwich on a nonstick pan with a weight on top to press the sandwich down. Cook each side until it takes on a golden-brown crisp. And once your Breakfast Panini is officially complete, your family will be entranced by the beautiful colors of the ciabatta, avocado, salsa, eggs and cheese that create not only a great tasting, but great looking Breakfast Panini!
Once it’s cooked, congratulations! You have yourself a unique Breakfast Panini that will turn any mopey Monday into a marvelous one.
