Sometimes you just want to splurge and go out for breakfast. I fell in love with this dish while I was visiting Pensacola Florida. There is a super trendy cafe in the square called The Leisure Club that makes Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea and best best panini’s I’ve ever had. They also sell a local favorite, High Road ice cream.
The roasted red pepper breakfast panini I had was so good that I wanted to recreate it to make at home after I got my amazing panini press. So I made it for my mother in law on Mother’s Day this past year and they were just as mouth watering.
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Line a backing sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. The roasted red pepper will make a big mess. Roast your red peppers for 30 to 40 minutes or until the outside skin is charred. Allow the pepper to cool completely. Peel the skin off and then dice the red peppers. Scramble your eggs with a touch of milk to make them fluffy. Toss in your diced red pepper to infuse the flavor with the eggs. Salt and pepper to taste.
Mix your softened butter together with the italian seasoning until it’s nice and blended. Make sure your panini press is on and getting warm. Spread the herb butter over the sourdough bread. Place the scrambled egg and red pepper mix onto the bread and place it in the panini press. You can add other things like cheese or spinach to your breakfast sandwiches, but they are good without them.
Serve with delicious mimosas for an amazing brunch!

that looks awesome. I love my panini press too!!
These look really good. I’d probably add bacon and cheese, though. I’m a rebel like that.
You just reminded me of my panini press. I should dig that out!
OK, I am craving breakfast right now. These look so good!
Sounds great, I’ve never had panini for breakfast
That is a nice healthy breakfast. Note to self: You need to invest in a panini press.

These look absolutely delicious. I am so so so hungry right now. I will be pining this one. 🙂
Oh that is totally up my alley – I would eat this in a heartbeat.
This looks really good I love roasted red peppers.
That looks delicious. This would be a great “picky eater” food for our family. You can start with the bread an eggs, and then modify the mix-ins to fit the tastes of everyone.
I would totally eat this for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
That looks AMAZING! I rarely make paninis, but I do enjoy them!
I want a panini press! I could do so much with one of those.
I have never had a breakfast panini. Thanks for the inspiration – those look good.
Like you, I’m completely crazy for my panini press. I usually just buy my roasted red peppers cuz I’m lazy, but I need to get with it and just roast them myself for even better flavor. Love this sandwich idea!
This looks so good!! I love breakfast food 🙂
Mmm, this looks so delicious and super easy to make, yum!
