A panini is a sandwich made on a grill. I have a regular panini grill, but it can be any kind of grill. Panini is also a brand of grill made specifically for grilling these sandwiches.
This sandwich can be made with any kind of cheese. Gruyere is a rich and smooth type of Swiss cheese that is delicious with ham. I make these on the panini grill listed below, and they're great. Be creative; you can mix and match ingredients for these sandwiches, but I love the ham and cheese. I prefer prosciutto, but deli ham works just as well.Ham and Gruyere Panini
- 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 slices Ciabatta bread, sourdough bread, or any whole grain bread
- 4 (1/4" thick) slices deli smoked ham
- 4 slices Gruyere or any other type of cheese
- 1/2 cup roasted red pepper strips, drained
- 1/2 cup spinach leaves
- fresh tomato slices
- 2 Tbsp. butter or olive oil
- Sprinkle of dried or fresh basil
In small bowl combine mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese and mix well. Spread on one side of each piece of bread. Assemble sandwiches with the coated bread, Gruyere cheese, ham, the red pepper strips, tomato, and spinach.
Butter the outside of the sandwiches, or brush with olive oil. I like it with the olive oil, and then I like to sprinkle it with a little dried or fresh chopped basil right before I grill it. Mmm.
Grill sandwiches on indoor grill or panini grill or griddle until toasted and crisp. Serves 4
