This Sweet Raspberry Panini is my new favorite panini sandwich. And I would love to receive it for breakfast in bed this Mother’s Day. And this will be my first Mother’s Day as a new mom!
Ever since I tried the recipe for this Sweet Raspberry Panini last week, I’ve been craving it every single day.

What makes this Sweet Raspberry Panini extra special is the raspberry preserves that I used. I personally love good raspberry preserves. I love spreading them over crepes and I’ve also used them as an ingredient in many recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of bread instead of Challah for the panini?
Yes, you can use other breads like brioche or white bread, but keep in mind that the texture and flavor may vary.
How do I prevent the cream cheese from spilling out while pressing the panini?
Make sure to spread the cream cheese evenly and not overstuff the panini, and consider pressing it gently with a spatula if you’re using a grill pan.
What should I do if I don’t have a panini maker?
You can use a grill pan and press down on the bread with a metal spatula to achieve a similar crispy texture.
