]]>Don’t be afraid to take your caprese salad to the next level, making it in panini form and finding another great way to implement this Italian staple into your diet.
Here’s a great recipe for a caprese panini that’s utterly easy to make.
Start off by washing the tomato and the basil leaves. Once you’ve done this, slice the tomato into pieces that are an appropriate size for your sandwich.
Next, take one slice of ciabatta bread. Place the two slices of fresh mozzarella on the bottom. On top, add the tomato slices and then the fresh basil leaves.
After this, take the other piece of ciabatta bread and drizzle it with the balsamic reduction and a bit of extra-virgin olive oil.
Then put some kosher salt and black pepper (to taste) on top of the ingredients of the other side of the sandwich.
The next thing you’ll want to do is combine the two pieces of bread and ingredients and put it into a sandwich toaster.
Wait until the sandwich is toasted, and you’re done. Enjoy!

Here are three recommendations for things to do with your panini press.
When you think about it, it makes all of the sense in the world to use a panini press to grill meat. Making hamburgers or chicken breasts becomes incredibly easy in a panini press, as the consistent heat on both sides of the meat means that it’ll cook perfectly and safely. Just be sure to clean off the residual juices well once you’re finished!
Have a bunch of new or redskin potatoes and just don’t quite know what to do with them? Baste them in olive oil, salt, and sprinkle herbs on top of them and put them into a panini press after you’ve softened them up! A panini press works perfectly for this.
Ah, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as leftover pizza. Am I the only one that thinks that it tastes even better the second day? If you aren’t into cold pizza, a great way to reheat your pizza and keep it crispy is in a panini press.

]]>While originating in Italy and typically consisting of Italian-inspired fillings, the same idea can be used to make a type of Mexican panini that fuses ingredients from Italy and Mexico.
It’s perfect with a bowl of tomato soup or chili on a brisk winter day. So, how can you make this tasty fusion sandwich?
Start off by cutting two circular slices of ripe tomato and set to the side.
Then, heat the chorizo in a sauce pan with a dab of olive oil until it is throughly cooked.
Now, fill the sandwich from bottom to top in this order: chorizo, tomato, arugula, mozzarella cheese.
Place the completed sandwich inside of a panini toaster, turn on medium heat, and wait until the focaccia bread is golden-brown and the cheese has melted.
Once the panini has finished toasting and it’s cooled down for a couple of minutes, it’s ready to eat!
Wasn’t that easy?
