Panini Ideas
Panini sandwiches are quick, easy, delicious, yummy, and unique!
- How about a bacon & egg panini for breakfast?
- Grill up a quick gourmet cheese sandwich for lunch!
- Try using pita (pocket) bread to make quick snacks.
- Our family favorite - grilled cheese (but somehow better than the norm)! Sometimes we add tomato, onion, spices, mild green chilis or mushrooms.
- Use a sturdy bread to make sell-stuffed sandwiches for dinner. Almost any variety of meats, cheeses, veggies and sauces can be combined to suit each individual.
- Pizza pockets are simple to make by using a bit of pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and favorite pizza toppings (as fillings!)
- After the sandwiches have cooled enough to be touched, lettuce or cold ingredients can be added.
- Read the instructions that come with your individual panini press. By following a few rules, it's pretty hard to go wrong. Just about any fillings that taste good hot will taste delicious inside crispy grilled panini.
