What’s even better than a roast beef sandwich? Roast beef panini whose flavor has been ratcheted up an extra two notches with the addition of tangy, creamy Danish blue cheese and sweet-tart Granny Smith apples. It’s an uncommon combination that delivers an uncommonly tasty sandwich. This recipe is based upon a delicious concept submitted by Rachel of Coconut & Lime as part of my On Your Grill series.

1 Granny Smith apple, sliced into thin, flat slices
1 lemon
1 sandwich-sized French baguette, sliced in half lengthwise
Mayonnaise
2 slices roast beef
1 slice Danish blue cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat panini grill to medium-high heat (375 degrees).
Squeeze juice from lemon onto apple slices to prevent them from browning.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise inside the bottom half of the baguette. Add roast beef, apple slices (enough to cover roast beef), blue cheese and the top half of the baguette. Grill sandwich for 5-6 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately and enjoy!

I too am a Panini freak, this was a godo tasting sandwich..One thing I found however is that roast pork worked even better with the apple flavor.

I haven’t tried it with roast pork but it sounds like it would even be better.
