I was amazed at how good a frozen box of panini was. It was a slice of bread with chicken other spices on it. I had never eaten a panini before and bought it just to give it a try. I suppose if it is this good from a frozen box, the homemade must be outstanding! YUMMY!

I've had a vegetable panini, several times. Yes, it was delicious. Might be fun, to make at home . . .

A lot of the coffee bars in Leeds have various panini sandwiches. The one that really tickled my taste buds was a toasted cheese with red onion. MMMMmmmm!

I make these for DH all the time. I suppose you could use a fancy panini press like they sell at the upscale stores, but DH is satisfied with the ones I cook up on our humble Foreman grill.

You've got to try a Cuban sandwich. Shredded roast pork tenderloin, ham, swiss cheese, mustard and pickle on a crusty bread cooked in a press (or Foreman grill!). Yum.

Hi GD . . . I had Cubans, all time time, the last time I stayed in Florida . . . AND, I love the panini that PB describes, as well . . . now, I'm hungry.

Oh, that sounds heavenly! Yummy!

You can use an old iron, too. My friend has one which he heats up on "low" and presses the bread (crusts cut off) with the fillings. He learned this in the dorms and has used it ever since.

That's a good idea, because I think the sandwich might be too thick for a George Foreman grill.

I've made grilled cheese sandwiches using an iron for years, but I always put a sheet of aluminum foil in between the sandwich and the iron!
