Grilled Cheese and Tomato Panini

Posted 3/7/2010 @ 2:32:34 pm by todaysbaker.com

I found some wonderful recipe cards in the March 3, 2010 issue of the Woman's Day magazine. These four recipes are printed on a page of cardstock that can be conveniently cut out and placed in your recipe file. I have copied them here to entice you. Do try this version of a grilled cheese sandwich for a quick and easy meal. What could be better than a hot, grilled sandwich!

Ingredients:

8 slices whole-grain bread

8 slices (6 oz) Cheddar cheese

1 medium tomato, sliced

Directions:

1. Coat a stovetop ridged grill pan or large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium-high.

2. Meanwhile, assemble panini: Lay slices of bread on cutting board. Top each with a slice of Cheddar. Place a tomato slice on top of 4 slices of cheese. Assemble to make 4 sandwiches.

3. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, turning once halfway through. Press down with a spatula until cheese melts.

(Makes 4 servings.)

Notes from Betty: Panini is an Italian sandwich usually made with vegetables, cheese,and grilled or cured meat. Many people proclaim that a panini press is well worth every penny. The way it crisps up the bread is so fantastic!
