Griddle Pizza Panini Recipes

BASIC GRILLED PANINI

Steps:

• Drizzle olive oil on 1 side of each bread slice. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on the other side of each slice. Pile Cheddar cheese, ham, tomato, and onion on top. Top with other bread slice, mayonnaise side down.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat; spray lightly with cooking spray. Place sandwich on grill; weigh it down with a heavy pan. Cook until cheese is melted and grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

PIZZA PANINI

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and the sausage and cook, breaking apart the sausage with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Add the salt, red pepper and onion and cook, stirring often, until the peppers and onions are soft and the sausage begins to brown, about another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Divide 1/4 cup marinara sauce between each half of one of the ciabatta rolls and top with a quarter of the mozzarella slices over the sauce. Place 2 slices of the pepperoni on the top half and fill the bottom half with a quarter of the sausage mixture. Sprinkle the sausage with 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Sandwich together and continue with the remaining ingredients.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 2 of the sandwiches top-side down to the skillet. Place a small pan on top and press down gently to flatten slightly. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and return the pan to the top, again pressing gently. Cook until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet and continue with the remaining sandwiches. Allow the sandwiches to cool to room temperature and then chill them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Before serving, slice the sandwiches into wedges like you would a pizza.

GRIDDLE PIZZA PANINI

Steps:

• Preheat flat top on medium with the panini press on top. While grill is heating, butter one side of each bread slice (or brush with olive oil). Put buttered slices together and place 2 slices cheese and desired toppings on unbuttered side. Place bread slices and toppings together as if you are making a grilled cheese (with buttered sides on the outside). Place sandwich on griddle and top with press, pressing down slightly. Cook 2-3 minutes until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Place panini press back on grill to heat for at least 5 minutes, then make next sandwich.
