P Y T A Michael Jackson Tribute Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the panini press.
• Coat one side of each bread slice with olive oil. This will help prevent the sandwich from sticking to the press/grill.
• Mix the mayonnaise with the pesto and spread on the other side of each bread slice. (I admit to adding an extra teaspoon of pesto!) On that, layer the remainder in the following order: Swiss, tomato, ham.
• Close sandwich, making sure the oiled side is facing outward, pop it in the panini press, close, count to 240... or thereabouts... and EAT!

• In the meantime, add full jar of pimentos (including liquid), black and white peppers and condensed milk to the blender or food processor. Blend together with the cooked peas into a creamy sauce. Season with extra spices if you like.
