Easy Panini Recipes - How to Find Them, Easily!

Ranked #12,721 in Food & Cooking, #224,959 overall

Finding easy panini recipes is simple!

Panini sandwiches are warm, toasty, ooey and gooey, and that's why I love finding easy panini recipes.

They're perfect for the summer, winter or anytime! I love how the bread is crunchy, the cheese is oozing and the meat and veggies are warmed to perfection. (Hmm...I seem to be getting hungry.)

Below I'll give you one delightful panini recipe and I'll also direct you to the place to find even more delicious and easy panini recipes. Plus, I'll give you reasons why making your own gourmet panini sandwiches saves you time and money.

Prosciutto and Smoked Gouda Panini

Holy "Smokes" this is good

You'll need to cook the panini in batches; keep cooked panini warm in a 250° oven. The sandwiches make hearty lunch fare on their own, or serve them with a tossed green salad or Chicken, Chickpea, and Zucchini Stew.

Yield:
10 servings (serving size: 1 panino)

Ingredients:
20 (1-ounce) slices Italian bread
Cooking spray
6 ounces smoked Gouda cheese, thinly sliced
6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto

Preparation
Coat 1 side of each bread slice with cooking spray. Place 10 bread slices, coated sides down, on a work surface. Divide cheese and prosciutto evenly among 10 bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices, coated sides up.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook panini 5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and cheese melts, pressing with a spatula to flatten.

How easy panini recipes will save you money

Think about it. You go out to a restaurant to get your delicious panini, and you're spending at least $8 - $10 on the sandwich, plus tax and tip. While it's nice to have someone else cook for you, it's much less expensive to create your own gourmet paninis right at home.

For the cost of just one sandwich, you can have an entire book of easy panini recipes to make again and again. In this economy, EasyPaninis.com just makes "cents". :)

Can easy panini recipes save you time?

Oh yes they can! Let's go back to our restaurant example. You have to hop in the car, drive to the restaurant, take time to eat there, pay, hop back in the car and head on home. And if you're like me and you have kids, well, you KNOW how long it takes to get anywhere with them!

Instead, you can pull out your easy panini recipes, and be out of the kitchen in no time flat! That leaves you witth more time to play with your kids (instead of packing them up in the car!), relax, exercise, or whatever you feel like doing!

Check out EasyPaninis.com and get some of your time back.

Live "greener" with your panini

Now you know how easy panini recipes save you time and money, but they can also help you live more "green."

When you make your own paninis at home, YOU choose the ingredients. That means you can choose fresh, organic and eco-friendly ingredients. When you go to a restaurant, you don't know where the food on your plate came from. And that can be a little scary sometimes!
