Bellissimo Panini Recipes

BELLISSIMO PANINI

Steps:

• In a small saute pan over medium heat saute pepper and onion in 1 tsp olive oil until onion is translucent and pepper is softened.
• Brush each cut side of the rolls with garlic olive oil and lightly salt and pepper.
• Assemble sandwiches using prosciutto, cheese, arugula, and sauteed vegetables. Lightly brush outside of assembled sandwiches with remaining olive oil.
• Cook until done, about 4-8 minutes.

PROSCIUTTO AND EGG PANINI

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Pour in the eggs and scramble until cooked through.
• Divide the eggs among the bottom halves of the rolls.
• Add the prosciutto and cheese and sandwich with the tops of the rolls.
• Melt the remaining butter in a grill pan or large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Add half the sandwiches to the skillet.
• Cook, pressing frequently with the back of a spatula or placing another pan on top of the sandwiches to weigh them down, until the cheese has melted and the bread is golden, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

GRILLED PORTABELLA SANDWICHES OR PANINI

Steps:

• Mix together oil, salt and pepper, and garlic. Marinate mushrooms and onions with this for about thirty minutes.
• Grill mushrooms and onions over medium heat until done, brushing on the oil mixture liberally throughout cooking time.
• Cut the bread open length-wise, brush it with the oil, then lightly toast on the grill.
• Layer on the onions and mushrooms. Press sandwich together for a few minutes (I usually use a frying pan to weigh it down).
• Cut into 6 pieces or so and serve.
