9 Super Useful Tips To Enhance Baking Recipes

I'm a giant fan of paninis and have tried many variations over the years thanks to Trader Joe's huge variety of cheeses and recent-baked bread. These are my three favorite go-to panini recipes using merchandise out of your native Trader Joe's retailer.

Caramelized Apple, Brie, and Pecan Panini Recipe
A scrumptious panini made with cinnamon bread, caramelized apples, toasted pecans, and brie.

Ingredients:
2 Trader Joe's Organic Gala Apples, cored and sliced into 1/4 inch wedges
8 slices Trader Joe's Cinnamon Bread
4 ounces brie, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons Trader Joe's Raw Pecans, toasted

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Arrange apples in a single layer on a baking pan lined with parchment paper, foil, or sprayed with cooking spray. Bake until pecans start to show golden, about 7 to 10 minutes. Shake the pan halfway via baking. 5. To assemble every panini: Layer a slice of cinnamon bread with a slice of brie, roasted apple slices, toasted pecans, and top with a second slice of bread. Bake till apples grow to be golden brown and the bottoms type a caramelized crust, about 15-20 minutes. 4. Preheat a panini grill to medium-excessive heat. 3. Arrange pecans in a single layer on a baking pan. Serve instantly. Grill panini till the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted, about 3 to four minutes.

Bacon, Egg, and French Toast Panini Recipe
Indulgently scrumptious breakfast panini made with french toast, a hint of maple syrup, smoky bacon, and scrambled eggs.

Yield: 4 panini

Ingredients:
8 slices Trader Joe's Sourdough Bread
1 dozen eggs
2 1/2 tablespoons low-fats milk
1 Tablespoon TJ's Maple Syrup
eight slices TJ's Bacon
salt and pepper

Directions:
1. Cook bacon based on package. 3. Dip bread slices in the egg mixture and switch to the panini grill. When the egg mixture begins to solidify, transfer the mixture around the pan with a spatula to scrape the cooked eggs from the bottom to the top of the mixture and expose the still-wet parts to the heat. 6. Assemble panini by layering the bacon and eggs between the 2 french toast slices. Cook until eggs are now not wet. Grill till egg mixture is totally cooked, about 5 minutes. 4. In a big bowl, whisk together the eight remaining eggs, the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons milk and salt and pepper to taste. 5. Pour egg mixture into a large nonstick pan over medium heat. 2. Preheat panini grill to 375°F. In a medium bowl, whisk collectively four eggs, 1 tablespoon milk, and maple syrup.
