Mmmm, Nutella Panini.

This recipe might be the easiest recipe ever, unless of course you count heating up leftovers and adding salt and pepper as a recipe. If you find this recipe difficult you probably shouldn't follow my blog, sorry.

I  have loved Nutella for years, just ask my High School Cheer Coach- I literally used to have a jar in my backpack. So when I discovered this little treat I was beside myself. ( not entirely sure what that term really means)My inspiration for this recipe comes from one of my favorite little cafes in LA. Il Tramezzino Italian Cafe in Studio City. There are 3 location in Studio City, Tarzana, and Beverly Hills. You must try their Chicken Special! http://www.iltram.net/

On to the good stuff! If you are lucky enough to have a panini press ( you're a jerk!) GREAT! You'll need it for this recipe, hence the word Panini in the title. If you are not the proud owner of a fancy shmancy Panini Press a George Foreman Grill ( I use mine for tons of meals!), or even waffle maker will work just fine. This awesome treat is great for breakfast, dessert, snack, picnic, or treat time.

Prep Time : 2 minutes

Cook Time 1-2 minutes
Level : EASY

Ingredients:

• Croissant
• 1 or 2 Strawberries or 1/4 Banana ( or both!)
• Nutella
• Powdered Sugar

Tools:

• George Foreman Grill or Panini Press
• Tongs or Spatula
• Appetite

Prep/Instructions:

Preheat grill or press. Halve croissant horizontally. Slice strawberries or banana into thin slices. Spread the Nutella on top side of croissant only, otherwise your fruit will slide around afterward. Place sliced fruit on bottom 1/2 of croissant and then place the top half of croissant on top. Put in your grill or press and close for about a minute or once browned ( I like dark browned when it's slightly crispy) remove from grill with tongs or spatula and sprinkle powdered sugar over the top using a sieve or flour sifter. Enjoy!
