Panini Pointers
Follow these tips and ideas for great panini! |
 |
|
 |
 |
• |
Layer the cheese so it's directly against the top and bottom bread slices. This places it closest to the heat source for maximum melting. |
 |
|
 |
 |
• |
Once the sandwich is assembled, press it down with your palm before placing it on the hot grill or skillet so it doesn't slide apart. |
 |
|
 |
 |
• |
If you don't have an electric panini or sandwich grill, follow the skillet cooking directions in the recipes. Or, use a ridged grill pan and place a heavy skillet on top of the sandwich to press it down as it cooks. |
 |
|
 |
 |
• |
Panini are best when served hot off the grill. Use a large serrated knife to easily cut them in half. |
 |
|
 |
 |
• |
Get creative with panini fillings. Design your own by using leftover slices of cooked meats, cheeses and vegetables you have on hand. |
 |
|
 |
 |
• |
For best results, do not overstuff the bread slices or the extra filling will be forced out during pressing. |
 |
|
 |
 |
• |
Host a panini party! Set out a variety of cooked meats, cheeses, vegetables (raw and roasted), spreads and Nature's Own or Cobblestone Mill Breads. Let guests assemble and grill their own panini. |
 |
|
 |
 |
• |
Cut panini into quarters and serve as mini sandwich appetizers or snacks. |
