The first time I ever had one of these sandwiches was in the cafeteria at work. It was actually a Panini sandwich. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it, but I’m open to new dishes. Much to my surprise it was delicious. I recreated the sandwich and prepare it like a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s not as crispy as a Panini but is just as flavorful. Its a perfect meal to use up leftover pork tenderloin . I often prepare an extra pork chop just so I can make this sandwich.
