Brie, bacon and raspberry preserves make this breakfast panini extra special and delicious.
This is my second “official” Mother’s Day and there’s only one thing that I could wish for… a good breakfast! This one’s a savory one with the help of raspberry preserves. It’s easy enough that dad (or even the kids!) can put together for mom on Mother’s Day.
I’ve learned to always keep extra jars of preserves on hand so we’re always prepared for the last scoop. We eat it pretty much every morning on our toast. There’s nothing foreign in this jar– just good, wholesome, and natural ingredients.
As for the recipe itself, I’m a sucker for a grilled panini. Any time I’m out of ideas or too tired to cook, I’ll bust out the trusty panini maker and put the ingredients together. The raspberry preserves balance out the brie while the bacon gives it a crunch. It’s all of your breakfast needs in one.
