Nutella Panini
For each panini:
3 tablespoons Nutella
2 slices white sandwich bread
edge. Close up the sandwich and trim the crusts.
3. Grill each sandwich for 3 minutes until the bread is lightly browned. Remove the crusts and cut each into 4 triangles before serving.

Prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato, and basil panini
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 large garlic clove, minced
8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
10 ounces thinly sliced whole-milk mozzarella cheese
12 tomato slices
12 large fresh basil leaves
1 16-ounce ciabatta bread (13x6 1/2x1 1/2 inches), halved horizontally
Whisk olive oil, vinegar, and garlic in small bowl to blend; season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Layer prosciutto, mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil over bottom of bread. Drizzle lightly with dressing, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press top of bread over. Cut bread equally into 4 sandwiches.
Grill sandwiches until bread is golden brown and cheese melts, pressing occasionally to compact with large spatula, about 5 minutes per side.

The difference between a Panini and a regular sandwich, is that they grill with ridges, and the sandwich ingredients melt or fuse together, giving a delicious flavor to any combination of foods. These sandwiches are easy to make, and can be made with any variety of food desired. Steak, cheese, fish, etc.
Bread is a matter of preference.

basically whatever you want! anything you think will make a good hot melted grilled sandwich is great.

one time at the nugget i had one with turkey, finnel, and havarti cheese and OMG! it was the best sandwich EVER!

whatever you want
cheese
salad
mozzarella
tomato slices

Anything you want

Use whatever sandwich fillings you like. Assemble the sandwich, then put it in the panini press until the bread is toasted and the fillings are warm.

I like grilled veggies and feta on crusty Italian bread.

Mine consists of thick slices of Italian bread, drizzle with olive oil, add favorite meat and cheese ( I use ham and provalone), some roasted pepper slices ( or tomato) and grill!

tuna cheese and red onion mmmm luvely

What characterizes a panini is not what's in it but how it's made; that is, the sandwich is pressed and grilled in a particular way that gives it a certain texture and character. That being said, my favorite panini is chicken, asparagus, and mozarella.

You want to keep the fillings for the sandwich thin- don't overstuff. The panini should come out crisp and thin, with some melty cheese in the middle. This isn't going to be a Dagwood-style sandwich. Try some simple things like sliced tomato and provolone, prosciutto with mozzarella, and so on.

it depends on what you want on the sandwich...u put the stuff in between the thick bread then you put it in the maker for like 5 min or so then its ready
