Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Fontina "toast"

    • mjes on August 23, 2021

      A grilled cheese with marinated peppers and mushrooms - a perfect sandwich. All of us enjoyed it ... okay the youngest would have preferred cheddar cheese but he'll grow out of that.

  • Rosemary focaccia with ricotta and Swiss chard

    • mjes on September 22, 2021

      This perfectly balanced filling also works well in a panini but the focaccia setting gives it a bit more emphasis. Love it.

  • Bruschetta al salmoriglio

    • kbrooks on May 03, 2026

      Delicious flavors.

  • Bruschetta al prosciutto

    • kbrooks on October 18, 2024

      Quick easy appetizer. Sprinkled some Greek oregano on the toasted bread after rubbing with garlic before topping with the prosciutto.

  • Crostini alla checca

    • kbrooks on March 11, 2025

      Really flavorful crostini topping with or without the cheese.

  • Crostini with savory mushroom topping

    • Breadcrumbs on June 12, 2013

      p. 113 - A delicious mushroom ragu of sorts that’s served atop grilled Crostini. The small quantity of fresh tomatoes is just enough to add a little zip to the dish without overpowering the lovely earthiness of the mushrooms. I used a mixture of fresh cremini and button along w the dried porcini though I can imagine any combination of mushrooms being delicious. I subbed Italian parsley for the mint and I think thyme or oregano would be good as well. We’ve served this hot and at room temp and I will say, it’s much better heated. We also really like it with some Parmesan shaved atop. Great recipe! Photos here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/905291#8131043

Publishers Text

New in paper! Move over pasta and pizza, here come panini, bruschetta and crostini! The world of sandwiches, Italian style. But not sandwiches oozing mayonnaise and dripping with calories. Viana's panini are healthy and light and feature the very foods we want to eat today -- from sautéed greens to lean ricotta, from fresh grilled fruit.

These heavenly bread-based creations include recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, antipasti, party foods, and delicious desserts and indulgences for any time of the day.

So instead of an egg salad sandwich try a frittata spread with fig jam, nestled between slices of rustic country bread. Tuna salad lovers will gladly forsake tuna on rye once they've experienced the Panino con Carciofi e Tonno, a crusty roll filled with tuna, marinated baby artichokes, and black olive pesto. And chocoholics will rejoice when they taste the toasted bittersweet chocolate panino pictured on the jacket, which puts all other chocolate snacks to shame.

Recipes also abound for panini made with focaccia, grilled panini, and for tramezzini -- small elegant panini made with thinly sliced breads and sophisticated fillings such as smoked salmon, cucumber and watercress, or sliced chicken breast, strips of radicchio, pine nuts, and currants. Ice cream panini, baked fresh fruit bruschetta, and crostini with mascarpone and cherries are just a few of the luscious desserts in this lively new full-color cookbook from Viana La Place. Why eat plain old sandwiches every day when you can treat yourself to panini?
