Three Cheese Sliders

15 minutes

Serves: 10

Preheat: Panini grill to high setting or skillet to moderate heat

20 1/2-inch-thick slices of La Brea Bakery Toasted Walnut Antipasto Bread

10 ounces Gruyere cheese, sliced 1/16 ­ inch-thick (substitution: Swiss cheese)

10 ounces low-moisture Mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/16 ­ inch-thick

10 ounces grated for shaved Parmesan cheese

2-3 Tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil

Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread (or brush with olive oil). Place half of the bread slices buttered side down and layer with a slice of Gruyere cheese, a slice of Mozzarella cheese, and 1 ounce of Parmesan cheese, folding back the edges of the cheese if they extend past the edges of the bread. Place the top slice of bread over the cheese, buttered sides up. Grill the sandwiches in a moderately hot skillet or in a Panini grill for 4-5 minutes until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted. If working in a skillet, turn sandwiches over halfway through grilling. Remove and serve.
