Spanish Breakfast Panini
By Lauren Keating
Portable breakfast sandwiches loaded with chorizo, red peppers, and fried eggs will turn an on-the-go morning into a special occasion. To save time in the morning, the bell pepper and chorizo filling can be made ahead and will keep in the refrigerator for several days.
