I was looking for something new to add to my Italian Romantic Film Party menu!Feeding guests through at least three movies was challenging to say the least! This is perfect as an appetizer! I used an olive salad blend & the flavors combined with the crunchy crust was spectacular! So easy! Everyone raved! Great way to use our panini maker! Thank you Michael!Ann
