Directions
-
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Set out ingredients for guests to build panini. Heat a panini press. Brush each sandwich with oil, and place in press. Grill according to manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place a sandwich in skillet, and top with a smaller heavy skillet. Cook, flipping once, until bread is golden brown and cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to oven to keep warm. Repeat.
Cook's Note
To serve the panini all at once, keep them warm in a low-temperature oven after cooking them one by one.
I'm using this idea for a party- does anyone have any idea how many people this ingredient list is meant to serve? Also, what sort of sides might I serve with this?
