This recipe is so simple, yet soooo delicious! I’ve been making panini’s for lunch for quite a while now, because they are a quick and balanced lunch option and they are ready in minutes! It wasn’t until I made this Pizza Panini for my sister that I realized I needed to share it with all of you! She was so excited about the sandwich in fact, that it honestly made me laugh! I said, ‘geez, it sounds like you’ve never had lunch before!’ She replied, ‘No, this is just one really good sandwich. It’s like a healthy slice of pizza!’ Well imagine that, a sandwich that tastes as good as a slice of pizza, and it just so happens to be quick, easy and healthy too!

Low Carb Pizza Panini
Here's the Dish
Method
The estimated total time to make this recipe is 5-10 minutes.
1
Warm up panini grill, or a sauté pan over medium high heat, and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2
Spread pizza sauce over 1/2 of the wrap bread. Sprinkle seasoning over sauce, followed by the meat of choice. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the meat layer, (or pull apart string cheese and lay on bread), and end with the Parmesan cheese, (and pepperoni if using).
3
Fold bread in half over meat and cheese. Place sandwich in the panini grill, (or prepared saute pan), and cook until sandwich is golden brown and toasted on both sides, and the cheese is melted. (Note: If using a saute pan, you will need to flip the sandwich to toast both sides, a panini grill will take care of both sides at once!)
4
Using a pizza cutter, cut sandwich into wedges if desired. Serve warm and with a side of pizza sauce for dipping if desired! Enjoy!
Ingredients

| 4 oz | Thinly sliced ham or turkey lunchmeat 1 |

Turkey pepperoni has been appearing in our fridge the past few weeks [it's on sale] so we’ve been getting creative and pizza-fying many different dishes… Subs, salads, pasta, eggs- all so tasty! I made a similar recipe last week but called them “pizzadillas” since they reminded me of quesadillas :P

Katie, Your website is an answered prayer! Seriously! I have been pursuing the Lord about transforming the image I have of myself and showing me how to eat better and work out a healthy amount. One day I just happen to “run in” to your site. Thank you so much for being obedient to what the Lord has called you to!! You are a HUGE encouragement to me! I absolutely love your recipes! I’m excited for your “print” option and would love to buy a cookbook if you publish one. :-) Thanks a million times!!

This is my new favorite recipe of yours although I have absolutely LOVED them all! I made these for dinner for the family and they were a hit. Then I made myself another for lunch today. I made mine with the morningstar pizza burgers and they were so so yummy! What I love about your recipes is that not only are they healthy and delicious, but the ingredients are practical and wallet friendly. I now make my grocery list each week based off of what recipes I choose off your amazing website! Thank you so much!!!! And when is the cookbook expected to be released – can’t wait to buy it!!
