PANINI OIL
Super simple to make! We tested this against butter and good olive oil as what to paint on bread when grilling up paninis, and this infused oil was our favorite for both flavor and crispiness.

Steps:
- Warm the canola in a small, heavy-bottomed sauce pan over medium-low heat.
- Smash the garlic cloves with the flat of a wide, heavy knife, the flat side of a tenderizing mallet, or any sturdy flat tool that you feel comfortable with. You want to flatten them somewhat (but not squirt garlicky bits all over the kitchen).
- When the oil shows signs of slow movement (that lazy, swirly motion that happens long before the oil begins smoking), drop the garlic into the warm oil.
- Watch and when the garlic shows signs of beginning to brown, pull off the heat and cover.
- Let stand at room temperature until cooled completely. Strain to remove the solids.
- Store the oil in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. It should keep for a couple of months if you don't use it all before then.
- When using, brush (don't dip!) the outside surfaces of your bread when preparing paninis for grilling. You may wish to salt the outside after cooking depending on the type of panini or your personal taste.
ULTIMATE PANINI
The aroma of onions cooking at country fairs and street vendor carts makes me crave caramelized onions. I wanted to pair them with something special, and this sandwich is just that. -Charlene Brogan, Falmouth, Maine

Steps:
- Halve the roll. Drizzle cut sides with olive oil. Sprinkle with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Layer mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, prosciutto di Parma, and basil leaves on bottom half. Top with other half.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-low to medium heat until almost smoking. Lightly brush pan with olive oil. Place panino on pan; cover with a cast-iron or other heavy skillet weighed with soup cans. Gently press straight down. Grill, undisturbed, until browned and crisp on bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. With a spatula, flip panino. Repeat process, grill until crisp and browned on other side, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve hot.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A good panini starts with a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings and won't get soggy. Ciabatta, focaccia, and sourdough are all good choices.
- Don't skimp on the fillings: Paninis are all about the fillings, so don't be afraid to load them up. Classic fillings include roasted vegetables, grilled meats, and cheeses, but you can get creative and use whatever you like.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is essential for making a good panini. It adds flavor and helps to keep the bread from getting too dry. Make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking paninis, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the paninis from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick.
- Cook the paninis over medium heat: Paninis should be cooked over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning. If you cook them over too high heat, they will burn on the outside and be raw on the inside.
- Press the paninis down: Once the paninis are in the pan, press them down with a spatula. This will help them to cook evenly and will also create those characteristic grill marks.
- Serve the paninis hot: Paninis are best served hot, right out of the pan. You can serve them with a side of soup or salad, or simply enjoy them on their own.
Conclusion:
Paninis are a delicious and versatile sandwich that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect paninis at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give paninis a try!
