Chef's Note

For the crispiest panini, make sure your cooking surface is properly preheated before adding the sandwich. If you don't have a panini press, use a heavy skillet to press down on the sandwich while it cooks. The Greek yogurt and apple make this a complete, balanced meal that hits all your macro targets.
