panini recipes?

[luvmyfam444]

I got a panini maker for Christmas that I don't have a clue what to do with - it opens up to a griddle - so I know I can use that (though I already have one of those)

It didn't come with a recipe book & we're not huge sandwich eaters - other than PBJ, grilled cheese, egg or tuna salad - all those but 1 are cold...

Crusty Italian bread, somewhat thinly sliced, prosciutto, capicola, provolone cheese, giardiniera.....delicious....or use pancetta, basil, tomato and mozzarella....or use serrano ham and manchego cheese....sooo many options.
Find a good deli by you and go crazy!

okay, leaving to make a sandwich.

Do you like fun cheeses, not iceburg lettuce, use a spinich and tomato, I use the Rome slice with basil and thin sliced turkey, or chicken left overs.
Some rosemary or oregano sprinked.

Roast beef and swiss. horsey sauce.

I do tuna salad with cheese all the time on my George Forman. Yum! Anything you put in a Sandwich works IMO. Just leave off the lettuce and grill. I always use cheese, try to use interesting bread, and use some condiments like fancy mustard or horseradish sauce.

Grilled cheese would be easy and I actually think PBJ would be good hot and melty as well.

I usually slice a ciabatta loaf at an angle, top a slice of it with deli turkey, ham, and swiss.... then put a bit of pesto on it, top w/ the other slice of bread, and then put it in the panini press... yummy

Asiago Cheese Bread, either fresh cooked chicken breast (the whole thing) or sliced Chicken Deli meat (much easier), mozzarella cheese (slice or two), sun-dried tomatoes and basil/garlic pesto.

I brush the outside of the bread with a little EVOO. Very yummy. I am not a huge sandwich person either but I like a good warm Panini.

A Reuben is good as a panini.

Veggie options, too: eggplant or spinach and mozzarella w/ red peppers, basil.

What does everyone use to grill their sandwiches? I was thinking of getting my DH one for Father's Day. Looking at the Cuisinart if anyone has it and wants to comment.

I liked this recipe from Paula Deen--a Cuban ham sandwich. I remember I subbed Provolone for the Swiss. Since you are using a press, I would just put a light spread of butter over the bread's surface. You won't need to coat the press like a skillet with the butter. It is a very tasty and quick to make sandwich.

OMG---I know what you mean. I've been looking the George Foreman with the different inserts--including a panini one. Does it work the same as a panini grill?

I use a nice bread, grilled chicken, either Asiago or mozzerella, sundried tomato, basil and thin red onion. I serve it with balsamic dressing to dip in.
