One new hot item that is making a lot of commotion in the kitchen is the panini grill that makes great panini grill sandwiches. The grill is similar to the ones you use to make a waffle but the panini grill creates thin-toasted sandwiches that have a distinctive crispy flavor.
Italians usually prefer their panini grill sandwich with two slices of bread, a slice of prosciutto, thin slices of mozzarella and tomato, and fresh basil leaves. Then they brush the sandwich with olive oil and put it on a hinged grill. Since the cover of the panini grill is heavy, it presses the panino while creating a crispy sandwich.
You can make your own panini sandwich with a few basic tips and ideas.
If you want a panini for a light breakfast, try using a sweet bread and add cinnamon, honey, and butter. You can also use cream cheese and strawberry jam for a great panini treat. Don’t be afraid to use chicken and eggs in your panino for extra protein and nutrients to start your day.
For those vegetarian who wants to try panini, add thin slices of mozzarella and tomatoes with basil to ciabatta bread. Spread some olive oil and vinegar over the ingrediens. You can also try lightly grilling some veggies of your preference such as red pepper, onions, and mushrooms and adding them to your panino. Spread the outside with olive oil before grilling for extra flavor and crispiness.
You can also add salt and pepper to any panino even if the recipe doesn’t call for it. With panini, there are no rules. Be creative and have fun, that’s what panini are all about. For Italians, food and family are the most important things in the world so they always combine the two. This is one of the reasons that panini have become so popular in our society. We are so busy and it’s hard to find family time and just as hard to eat healthy. Making Panini can be a family affair; everyone can create their own concoctions. The best part is that the whole family is making supper together and eating together.
Panini possibilities are endless. You can add virtually anything to any bread including meat, chicken, fish, ham, turkey, eggs, cheese, etc… Of course, adding fruits and vegetables is a great way to get your kids to start getting their fill. Panini are also a great way to eat leftovers!
