Oprah has sampled delicacies from the world's great chefs, but she believes there's only one main ingredient needed to create the tastiest food: love. Inspired by her longtime love, Stedman, Oprah created this melty, savory panini, piled high with gooey pepper Jack cheese, sautéed scallions, smoked turkey, fresh tomato and rich avocado.
She first started making it just for Stedman and says, "I've only made it for a couple of other people, so if you've had me make the Love Sandwich for you, you have to be somebody I really care about."
