Ingredients:

1 Clove garlic, finely chopped

1 Oil-packed anchovy, finely chopped

1 Teaspoon lime zest (about 1 lime)

3 Tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

2 Tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

2 Tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

1 Tablespoon chopped fresh basil

1 Tablespoon finely chopped shallot

1/4 Teaspoon Dijon mustard

2 Ounce cream cheese, cut into smaller cubes

1 Cup shredded mozzarella

1 Cup shredded sharp cheddar

8-12 Slices sourdough bread

2 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation:

Add garlic and anchovies to a mini-prep food processor and pulse for a few seconds until it’s really finely chopped, almost like a paste (if you don’t have a food processor, you can always just chop the ingredients really well with a knife on a cutting board).

Add in the lime zest, parsley, tarragon, cilantro, basil, shallot, mustard and cream cheese and pulse again until well blended. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl and stir in the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.

Preheat the panini grill to medium-high heat.

For each sandwich: Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture onto one slice of bread. Close the sandwich with a second slice of bread. Brush a little olive oil on top. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes until the cheese is melted and oozy and the bread is toasted. Serve immediately and enjoy!
