Grilled Ham n’ Hummus Panini

 

Made this one for Ben last night for dinner after getting really excited about my lunch (see previous post :P). It also just looked really pretty on the plate and I insisted on getting a picture. This one’s got broccoli and cauliflower bits in it too. Basically the same recipe as below, but much more colorful with the ham. Ben likes ham.
