Panini Sandwich

Having a panini sandwich is a great way to enjoy a warm sandwich, filled with any fillings you like. Panini makers are very popular, as many dual purpose as indoor grills. So if you love sandwiches and grilling, consider investing in a panini maker. Warm sandwiches are great any time of the day or the year. They also go great with numerous sides including salads, soups or chips.

A panini is a grilled sandwich that is typically made with Italian bread. It is typically made with bread like focaccia, ciabatta or a whole grain baguette, but has been adopted to use with pretty much any type of bread. So, I like to experiment with various types of bread and contents for delicious combinations. I also like to make sandwiches with different sauces and aioli’s.

Directions For Panini Sandwiches

Apply spreadable butter on bread slices with a spreader. Then add any sandwich sauce or aioli to the bread.
Next, add on your ingredients like sliced tomatoes, cooked bacon, lettuce, meat, avocado’s, cheese, etc.

I have found that it is best to put the cheese as the last layer or first layer, so that your cheese melts before the bread gets too toasted. I like to use smoked gouda cheese, cut thick in most of my paninis.

So once your sandwich is assembled. Add more spreadable butter on the top. Spray the panini maker with cooking spray and cook for about 7-10 minutes or until desired toast level.
