Breakfast Panini—fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, golden fried potatoes, and melted cheddar cheese, all wrapped in Markook flatbread and pressed until perfectly crispy. This fully loaded handheld breakfast comes together in under 30 minutes and is guaranteed to start your day right.
This recipe from Isis Heuser uses Breadmasters Markook Thinnest Flatbread (or Lavash) to create a pressed panini that gets beautifully golden with those classic grill marks. Serve with spicy sour cream for a morning meal that rivals your favorite cafe.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (or your favorite)
- 3 pieces Breadmasters Markook Thinnest Flatbread
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 large eggs, scrambled
- 1 potato, cubed and fried until golden
- 4 slices bacon, cooked until crispy
- ¼ cup salsa casera or your favorite salsa
Instructions
- Make the spicy sour cream: Mix together the sour cream and hot sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Prepare the flatbread: Lay a piece of Markook flatbread on a clean work surface.
- Layer the fillings: Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese, then add scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, crispy bacon, and a spoonful of salsa.
- Roll it up: Roll the flatbread tightly and place seam-side down on a hot, buttered grill pan or skillet.
- Press and crisp: Press down with a heavy lid or cast iron pan to flatten. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese starts to melt.
- Flip and finish: Flip the panini and cook the other side until crispy and heated through.
- Serve: Slice in half and serve warm with the spicy sour cream on the side.
Tips for the Perfect Breakfast Panini
- Flatbread choice: Markook or thin Lavash works best—they press flat and crisp up beautifully without cracking.
- Get that grill press effect: No panini press? Use a cast iron skillet as a weight on top of your regular skillet. The weight creates those signature grill marks and ensures even crispiness.
- Make it your own: Swap bacon for sausage, add sautéed mushrooms or spinach, or use pepper jack cheese for extra heat.
- Meal prep tip: Cook the eggs, potatoes, and bacon ahead of time. Assemble and press in the morning for a quick breakfast.
