Ingredients

• 2 pieces Ciabatta bread or panini rolls
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 4 pieces Bacon strips
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese (slices)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cups Baby spinach leaves
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a panini press or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

Step 3

In the same skillet, remove excess grease, leaving about 1 teaspoon, and lightly scramble the eggs. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 4

Cut the ciabatta bread or panini rolls in half lengthwise. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of each half.

Step 5

Layer the bottom half of the bread with 2 slices of cheddar cheese, followed by scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, baby spinach leaves, and another slice of cheese. Top with the other half of the bread.

Step 6

Lightly brush the outside of the bread with olive oil or melted butter to help it crisp up during cooking.

Step 7

Place the panini on the preheated press or grill pan. Close the press or use a heavy skillet to press the sandwich. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Carefully remove the panini from the press or pan. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice in half and serve warm.
