Happiness is stumbling upon this gem while walking with my sis-in-law to pick my youngest nephew from school.
When we first entered the “Cheese Emporium”, a specialty grocery store on Mount Pleasant Village, I was under the impression that it was a treasure trove of cheese (which it is) but didn’t expect to find it a purveyor of the simple yet amazingly delicious classic panini as well.
Filled with salami, mozzarella, hot peppers, pickles and mustard (I chose to leave the mayo out), the ciabatta bread was slathered with butter on the outside and grilled in a panini press. It came out as a piping hot, flattened sandwich that smelled distractingly good and tasted even better. This packed an intense hit of salty and spicy that is truly mouthwateringly.
