sandwich Chart
A sandwich is a beautiful thing - simple and comforting. Add some heat to cheese and bread and create the
perfect lunch. Like any good meal, the perfect sandwich starts with the best ingredients that you can find.
Use a nice hearty bread, good oil or butter, and fresh, in-season ingredients. Don't stop there, for your
pantry probably has some great additions - roasted red peppers can add a lot of flavor to simple grilled
chicken. Mayonnaise and mustards can do wonders. Have leftover barbequed chicken from the grill last night?
Shred it and put it on bread. The options are endless. Place on the hot grill, press or top melt, and your
sandwich will be ready before you can finish setting the table. The extra-large cooking surface allows you to
make up to four sandwiches at a time.

Panini
Grill Position and Plates: Closed; Grill or Griddle
Preheat Temperature: 400°F upper and lower
Ingredients: Your favorite sliced bread • softened
butter • a good melting cheese: classic American,
Swiss varieties, Cheddar, etc.
If you're feeling adventurous, or just want a
change from the ordinary, get some other
ingredients ready: sliced deli pickles, sliced
tomato, some bacon from yesterday's breakfast.
While grill is preheating, assemble
your sandwiches:
Lightly brush one side of each slice of
bread with the softened butter.
Layer the cheese on top of half of the
un-buttered slices (if using optional
fillings, layer them in between the
cheese). Top with the other pieces of
the bread, with the buttered side
facing up.
Open grill carefully and
place prepared sandwiches
on the hot plate.
Close grill and set the cover
height adjuster so the
upper plate is just sitting
on top of the bread.
Allow to cook for about
5 minutes, or until bread
is crispy and cheese is
fully melted.
