Recipes Main Dishes Pork Ham Basic Grilled Panini 4.8 (4) 4 Reviews 2 Photos 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.

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. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Cook’s Note This basic recipe is easily changed up with prosciutto, salami, or even turkey. This is also great as a veggie sandwich.You can use French bread for Italian, extra-virgin olive oil for extra-light, and spreadable cheese for mayonnaise.I recommend a George Forman grill because it eliminates the need for flipping. If you don't have a grill pan, use a regular cast iron or nonstick skillet.
