Sardine and Balsamic Tomato Panini image

Sardines are a fantastic underused food. Found this sandwich recipe in The Wichita Eagle who wrote, "The noble sardine does not get much respect in this country, although lots of older folks grew up enjoying it on crackers. In reality, it's an inexpensive, handy and healthy food to keep on hand. Here's a recipe that puts it to good use. It's adapted from "200 Best Panini Recipes" by Tiffany Collins (Rose, $24.95)."
