This panini is a classic for a reason! The combination of salty prosciutto, creamy pesto, and melted cheese is irresistible. I always make this recipe when I'm looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.

This panini was easy to make and very delicious. I used store-bought pesto, but I think it would be even better with homemade pesto. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed this panini. The prosciutto and cheese were the perfect combination, and the pesto added a nice flavor without being overpowering.

This panini was good, but not great. The pesto was a bit too oily for my taste, and the prosciutto was a bit too salty. I would probably make this again, but I would make some changes to the recipe.
