Double Decker Bologna Cheese Panini Recipes

DOUBLE-DECKER CHEESE-BOLOGNA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Mix well bologna, cheese, onion, relish, mayonnaise and salt.
• For each sandwich, spread 2 slices bread with butter, then 1/4 cup meat mixture.
• Butter both sides of another slice of bread.
• Stack with double-buttered bread in middle, adding lettuce.

DOUBLE-DECKER BOLOGNA-CHEESE PANINI

Steps:

• Combine mayo and sriracha. Spread 2 slices of bread on one side with sriracha/mayo. Lay 1 slice bolonga and 1 slice of cheese on mayo side. Add lettuce, if using.
• Butter remaining slice of bread on both sides. Stack with buttered slice in between slices with meat and cheese.
• Place in panini maker or skillet until browned on both sides. In skillet, you will need to flip.

GIANT DOUBLE DECKER TACO

Steps:

• Fit a sheet pan with a wire rack.
• Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large braiser or cast-iron skillet.
• Using tongs, slip half of a tortilla in the hot oil to form a taco shell shape. Using a metal spatula with the other hand, keep half the tortilla submerged until golden. Turn the tortilla so that the fried part now sticks out of the oil, letting the bottom fry, while making sure to keep the tortilla open about 2 inches wide. (This creates the necessary space to stuff it!) Then gently turn the tortilla and repeat the process so that the remaining side fries to a golden brown while the rest stays out of the oil. Let the taco shell drain on the lined sheet pan. Fry another tortilla in this manner; reserve the other two tortillas.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Place one unfried tortilla in a pan and top it edge to edge with cheese. Lightly broil until the cheese is just melted, but the tortilla isn't toasted. While still hot, "stick" the cheesy, non-crispy tortilla to the outside of a fried tortilla shell. Repeat with the remaining tortilla, cheese and fried shell.
• Now build! Fill the cavity of the taco with some warm Taco Meat, followed by some lettuce, a drizzle of sour cream, tomatoes, jalapeños and cilantro.
• Serve with your favorite taco bib.
• Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the beef and chorizo and brown, breaking the meat up constantly into smaller little bits, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. (If there is a lot of rendered fat, remove all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.)
• Add the onions, chipotle powder and cumin. Cook until the onions are soft, another 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for just another 30 seconds. Add the tomato puree and simmer, stirring frequently, for another 10 minutes. You want this taco meat to be pretty "tight" and dehydrated, not soupy or loose! Season to taste with salt and pepper.

CHEESESTEAK PANINI

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and onion, season with the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Throw the roast beef into the same skillet, breaking it up a little as you go. Add a few dashes of Worcestershire and warm for about a minute or so. Remove from the heat.
• To build: Heat a panini maker (or set a grill pan or skillet over medium-low heat).
• Spread half of the mustard onto a slice of bread and top with 2 slices of provolone. Add half of the beef and veggie mix. Top with half of the Homemade Cheese Sauce and another slice of bread. Spread the top side of the bread with 1 tablespoon of butter. Repeat and build the second sandwich.
• Invert the sandwiches butter-side down on the hot panini maker (or grill pan or skillet). Spread another tablespoon of butter on each of the tops.
• Close the panini maker and grill until the bread is crusty and golden and the cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes. (If using a grill pan or skillet, carefully flip the sandwiches halfway through.) Slice in half and enjoy!
• Place a double boiler over medium heat. Add the cubed cheese and milk and heat, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the mixture is combined, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard, vinegar and salt. Grate the garlic into the mixture using a rasp grater; stir to combine. Cook until the flavors meld, an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

DOUBLE-DECKER CHEESE MELT

Steps:

• In a food processor, blend cheese and butter. Add the egg, garlic salt and onion salt; process for 1 minute or until creamy. Spread 2 tablespoons on each slice of bread. Stack two slices of bread, cheese side up, for each sandwich; sprinkle with paprika if desired. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

DOUBLE-CHEESE BEEF PANINI

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, blue cheese, horseradish and pepper; set aside. In a large skillet, saute onion in oil until tender., Spread mayonnaise mixture over one side of each slice of bread. On four slices, layer one piece of cheese, two slices of roast beef, sauteed onion and another piece of cheese; top with remaining bread., Spread butter over both sides of sandwiches. Cook on a panini maker or indoor grill for 2-3 minutes or until bread is browned and cheese is melted.

THREE CHEESE PANINI

Steps:

• Spread a thin, even layer of Grana Padano, then Crotonese, and then Cacio di Roma over the bottom of each roll.
• Generously drizzle some truffle oil over each before closing up the sandwich.
