With the new millennium came the latest addition to the sandwich
family, found at many sandwich eateries, the 'panino' or Italian
sandwich. Known more commonly in English by its plural form
'panini', the difference between a panini and a regular sandwich is
that it's grilled with ridges, and the sandwich ingredients melt or
fuse together, giving a delicious flavor and texture to any
combination of foods.
Panini are easy to make, and can be made with any variety of food
desired. Served with a salad, or soup, a panini can make a complete,
fast, and healthy meal, eaten any time of the day. Here is how to make
your own panini.
!! Ingredients !!
* Bread
* Tomatoes
* Mozzarella cheese
* Olive oil
!! Steps !!
Choose the type of panini you're going to make. You can use whatever
filling you'd like, but here are some suggestions:
A ham panini Use slices of ham [1], pimento, cheese, anchovies, and
bread [2]. Traditionally served with a tossed salad.
* A chicken panini Use chicken [3], cheese, and spinach.
Serve with a side salad, or chips and a pickle.
* A bacon panini Use fried bacon [4], scrambled eggs [5]
or omelet, and mayonnaise if you like. Serve with a side of baked
beans [6].
Prepare the ingredients. Remove the cheese [7] from its container
and slice. (Or use pre-sliced cheese if you prefer.) Slice any
other ingredients or condiments and add on top of the cheese.
Brush the bottom of a slice of bread with olive oil. Place onto a
pre-heated panini grill. Place the sandwich fillings on top and top
with another brushed piece of bread.
Grill for 2 to 4 minutes.
Open and check to see if the ridges are well-formed, the cheese
melted properly, and the bread toasted.
Remove the sandwich from the panini machine. Add a cup of soup [8]
or a tossed salad, and you have a delicious, nutritious, and
simple meal.

!! Tips !!
* Panini can be made with any combination, from cheeses, to steaks
and onions, or fish depending on your taste.
* If you don't have a panini grill, place the sandwich onto a hot
outdoor grill, and top with a clean covered brick (wrap in foil,
for example). Turn the sandwich when done on one side and again
top with a covered brick. The brick will add weight to the bread,
causing the ridges to form on each side, taking on the look of a
panini grilled sandwich.
* A George Foreman Grill [9] will make great panini, but make sure
the grill is heated prior to using.
!! Warnings !!
* Carefully remove the panini from any type of grill, as it will be
hot and you can easily be burned by touching it.
* Younger children should have an adult present when making a
panini, or have an adult make it for them.
