Easy, customizable panini sandwiches - perfect for one or family meals!
Servings 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread per sandwich
- butter or olive oil
- meats (I like ham & pepperoni)
- cheeses optional
- veggies optional
- mustard optional
- balsamic vinegar optional
Instructions
- Make sandwich. On 1 slice of bread, add balsamic vinegar and add mustard on the other one slice of bread. In the middle, layer in your meats, cheeses, and veggies. I like to do the cheeses next to the bread to help them melt better.
- Preheat pan or griddle to medium heat - not too hot! You need time for the cheese to melt without getting your bread too toasty. If I'm using a pan, I just put some olive oil in the bottom. If I'm making a few sandwiches on the griddle, I lightly butter the outside of the bread.
- Put sandwich in the pan (or on the griddle).
- Panini usually means pressed. If you want to do that, put another pan on top of the sandwich to use as a weight. Or just use your spatula to hold it down.
- After a couple of minutes, check on sandwich. Flip when the down side is toasted.
- Serve and eat!
