Panera has a new, unique sandwich that we can’t wait to get our hands on

Panera Bread has revamped its menu over the past year to add more value and give its loyal customers more of what they want. Some of the changes include removing less popular items, bringing back fan favorites and creating new choices that put a fresh spin on beloved flavors, like the Kickin’ Grilled Cheese and Cinnamon Roll sandwiches.

More recently, the Missouri-based chain launched two new soups to kick off fall. Now it takes customer love to combine menu items and offer a new pair of savory dippable sandwiches.

Panera’s new Ciabatta dippers

Panera’s Ciabatta Dipper comes in two varieties: the French Dipper and Spicy Chicken Dipper, and is served with a bowl of soup for dipping.

The French Dipper features marinated steak covered in melted provolone and Asiago cheese, along with a bold garlic aioli drizzle. The steak sandwich is paired with Panera’s Bistro French Onion Soup, packed with sweet caramelized onions and a rich tomato sauce base.

Fans looking for a little heat can try the Spicy Chicken Dipper, with slices of grilled chicken, spicy salsa verde and melted provolone. Served with tomato soup, the Spicy Chicken Dipper offers a hearty meal option that goes beyond the classic grilled cheese combination.

Can’t choose just one? Panera has added its new Ciabatta Dippers to the You Pick 2 options, so you can easily order half a sandwich or try both. As always, the sandwiches can be customized so you can add extra sauce or swap out the cheese if that’s what your heart desires. However, it doesn’t look like you can swap out the bread, but that’s probably because not all bread can soak it up in the soup the same way as crispy ciabatta bread.

Ciabatta Dippers are available nationwide at Panera’s, but only for a limited time, so be sure to try these two flavorful combos before they disappear. If you’re a Panera Rewards member, you can activate the promotion in the Panera app and earn double visit credit when you purchase a Ciabatta Dipper before November 14.
