Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Sliced sourdough bread
  • Sliced deli like meat of your choice
  • Sliced Cheese or whole cheese block (of your liking)
  • Mayonnaise
  • Mustard (any kind) or jalepeno's (if you like)
  • Butter, margarine, low fat butter (if you like)
  • Knife
  • Indoor grilling machine

Making a Panini that is Easy and Fun

Step1
Slice of Sourdough Bread, Spread With Mayonassie and Mustard, Then Cut in Half To begin with, take a slice (or 2) of sourdough bread. Spread with mayonnaise and any mustard of your liking.
Step2
Cheese Slice on top of Bread and Under Meat Slices Then, if you have a block of cheese, use your slicer for the amount (2 slices usually) for your sandwich. If you are using already sliced cheese, there is no need for the cheese slicer and then add how many slices of meat onto cheese slice.
Step3
Another Slice of Cheese on top of added Meat If you want to add more cheese slices, go right ahead and add it to the already added meat on your one slice of sourdough bread.
Step4
Closed Panini Sandwich After your other cheese slice is added, close Panini Sandwich with other slice of sourdough bread. With butter knife, spread your brand or butter or margarine to top slice of sourdough bread.
Step5
Indoor Grill set at 6-7 Minutes Once sandwich is closed, turn on indoor grill and set time for 6-7 minutes. It takes at least 1-2 minutes to heat up before your sandwich is the way you want it to look or be grilled.
Step6
Panini Sandwich sitting on Indoor Grill When two minutes is up, place butter side of Panini on indoor grill, spread more butter on bare sourdough slice and close indoor grill top.
Step7
Completed Panini Sandwich with side of Chips When buzzer sounds on indoor grill, that means your Panini Sandwich is done. Using the spatula that comes with your indoor grill, open top of indoor grill slowing as top piece of bread may stick to top due to the cheese melting. When top is open, take spatula under sandwich and remove it slowing. For a side, eat chips--or not--and enjoy your homemade Panini Sandwich.
