Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich (Panini) image

Mmmm... mozzarella! Try this grilled cheese sandwich with the Italian twist! If you haven't tried it before, pesto is one of the best condiments to use on a hot sandwich. Instead of cooking the sandwiches in a skillet, you can use your panini press just as easily. This recipe is from a Canadian cheese magazine. Enjoy!

2 Tbsp chipotle mayo
1 oz sauteed red onions

1 bottle olive oil, extra virgin

  • 4. Close the grill and allow cooking for approximately 2 minutes per side, flipping just once. Remove from grill and slice on the bias and serve with bread and butter pickles and your favorite pasta salad.
  • 5. If you enjoy garden fresh tomatoes and lettuce just add them after the sandwich is done grilling.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients for the best results. This includes using good-quality bread, cheese, and meats.
  • Don't overload the panini: Too many ingredients can make the panini difficult to assemble and eat. Stick to a few simple ingredients that complement each other well.
  • Grill the panini until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. This will ensure that the panini is cooked through and has a delicious, crispy exterior.
  • Serve the panini immediately: Paninis are best enjoyed hot off the grill. If you need to make them ahead of time, wrap them tightly in foil and reheat them in a preheated oven before serving.
