Panini


So of course there are tons of options for making panini sandwiches, but I thought I'd share what we did to help get the juices flowing (haha, so funny i know).


Ciabatta bread (we bought ours at Walmart - it was a "whole grain" variety and was soooo good; it had seasame seeds, etc.)

Olive oil/balsamic vinegar mixture

Provolone cheese

Fresh Basil

Fresh Tomatoes

Sliced turkey

Pam cooking spray


Slice the ciabatta bread lengthwise. Drizzle the oil/vinegar mixture on both sides of the bread (or if you are lucky enough you can spread it on with one of those cooking brushes). Top with turkey, cheese, basil, and tomatoes. Spray the outside of each slice of the bread with Pam (or you could butter it). Place on a pre-heated George Foreman Grill and grill for about 3-6 minutes, until grilled to desired "grill-ness." YUM.


I've also read you could make panini by grilling them on a pan and placing another pan on top. I've never done it that way, but I'm sure it would work. But the Foreman works perfectly and we love it!
