Tips:
- Use high-quality bread: A good bread will make all the difference in your panini. Look for a bread that is sturdy enough to hold up to the fillings, but not too dense.
- Don't overload your panini: Too many fillings will make your panini difficult to eat and will cause the bread to get soggy.
- Use a panini press: A panini press is the best way to get a perfectly grilled panini. If you don't have a panini press, you can use a grill pan or a frying pan.
- Cook your panini until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown: This will ensure that your panini is cooked through and delicious.
- Serve your panini immediately: Paninis are best enjoyed hot off the grill.
