Basic Grilled Panini

Basic Grilled Panini

Panini sandwiches get their distinct look from the grill marks. I like to serve this grilled sandwich with soup or even salad. You can use this recipe to make multiple sandwiches. Just assemble them ahead of time, grill, and place in a warm oven until serving.

  • 2 slices Italian bread

  • 3 slices deli ham, or more to taste
  • 2 slices Cheddar cheese
  • 1 slice firm-ripe tomato
  • 1 thin slice onion
  • cooking spray

Directions

Step 1
Drizzle olive oil on 1 side of each bread slice. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on other side of each slice.

Step 2
Arrange layers of ham, Cheddar cheese, tomato, and onion on top. Top with other bread slice, mayonnaise-side down.

Step 3
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat; spray lightly with cooking spray. Place sandwich on grill pan; weigh it down with a heavy pan. Cook until cheese is melted and grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Tips

This basic recipe is easily changed up with prosciutto, salami, or even turkey. This is also great as a veggie sandwich.
