Tips
- To make the perfect panini, start with good-quality bread. Look for a sturdy bread that will hold up well to being grilled. Sourdough, ciabatta, and French bread are all good choices.
- Don't skimp on the fillings. Use generous amounts of cheese, meat, and vegetables. This will ensure that your panini is flavorful and satisfying.
- If you're using a panini press, preheat it according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will help to ensure that your panini is cooked evenly.
- Butter the outside of the bread before grilling. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
- Grill the panini for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If you're using a toaster oven, cook the panini for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Let the panini cool for a minute or two before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from oozing out.

Paninis are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give paninis a try. You won't be disappointed!
