Panini sandwich recipes - they're delicious and fun to make!

Making panini sandwiches is super fun and super easy. Plus, since the ingredients that you can include are endless, everyone in the family can get exactly what they want. (Hint, hint. Your kids can't complain TOO much if they make their own sandwich!)

Now, I know the searching-all-over-the-Internet-for-recipes drill. Been there! And you can definitely find lots of good stuff out there. I've even included one below. But, for a great collection of mouth-watering, tongue-loving, tummy-sticking panini sandwich recipes, I recommend EasyPaninis.com.

Philly Beef Panini 

I'm from Philly, so I had to pick this one

Yield
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
1/2 onion, sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper to taste
1 (10-ounce) package prebaked thin Italian pizza crust
1 (7-ounce) package OSCAR MAYER Deli Fresh Shaved Roast Beef
3 (1-ounce) provolone cheese slices

Preparation
1. Cook first 3 ingredients in 1 teaspoon hot oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Top half of pizza crust with roast beef. Spoon onion mixture over roast beef; top with cheese slices. Fold crust over filling, and brush both sides of crust with remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil.

3. Cook in a preheated panini press 2 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into 4 wedges, and serve immediately.

Note: If you don't have a panini press, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, and place sandwich in hot skillet. Place a heavy skillet on top of sandwich, and cook 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

A little trick for the kids... 

They liked it, they actually liked it!

Here's something I did recently with some panini that I made for the kids. My 2-year old daughter will eat almost anything, but my 4-year old son is SO picky.

So, I made a panini sandwich using some leftover grilled chicken that we had. I spread the bread with store-bought pesto, I added the chicken and then a slice of provolone. I put a little olive oil on the outside of the bread. (I used ciabatta, by the way.) I grilled it for approximately 5 minutes. Very easy! And a great way to use up the chicken.

And here's the trick I used with my kids. I cut the panini into little bite-sized pieces and stuck toothpicks into them. Even my picky eater LOVED it!

Happy eating. :)

P.S. I almost forgot to mention to add a side of ketchup for dipping. Or use salsa for a healthier substitute if they'll eat it.
