Totally Panini-Pressed Dinner

August had a big European vacation for me (first visits to Finland & Denmark!) during which time I wasn't doing a lot of cooking. My original plan to make a few things in my friend's kitchen in Copenhagen fell by the wayside. No regrets. Nonetheless I was happy to be reunited with my fully equipped kitchen and American style mega-marts by the time I got back. 

One of the pieces of equipment in my kitchen is grill press/griddle/waffle maker combo device that is called for if you want to make Alton's Totally Panini-Pressed Dinner. This is basically what happens if you take a stir fry concept and put it on a panini press. Using the press to cook bacon is actually really great.

Faster than baking bacon for flat strips.

The ingredient list is bacon, red onion, mushrooms & spinach with a bit of sauce at the end. You just cycle the ingredients through the grill press.

Until everything is tossed together...

Voila

Difficulty Level: Easy

Will It Get Made Again? Probably not. It's not complicated but I'm not in love. Unlike the Black Beans/Brown Rice that have turned into a staple in my house. I may cook bacon on the press again though.
