1218. EGG, CHEESE and BACON BISCUIT PANINI

makes 4 servings


6 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 package large refrigerated dough biscuits (i.e., Pillsbury Grands)
4 slices fully-cooked bacon, cut in half cross-wise
4 slices mild cheddar cheese

Prepare the refrigerated dough biscuits according to the package instructions. Set aside to cool. To prepare the omelet, heat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper and basil. Spray an oven-proof 8″ saute pan with cooking spray and cook egg mixture over medium heat until the bottom of the omelet is done. Transfer pan tot he oven and bake another 5 minutes until the top is set. Invert the omelet onto a cutting board and, with a knife, divide it into four equal sections. Heat the panini grill to 350 degrees.

To assemble the sandwiches, slice 4 of the baked biscuits in half lengthwise. Starting from the bottom of the sandwich, layer the bottom half of the biscuit, a section of omelet, 2 half-slices of bacon, a slice of cheese and the top half of the biscuit. Grill for 3 minutes on a medium-high grill height until the cheese has melted and the biscuits are toasted. Serve hot.
