Grilled Cheese Honey Panini Food

BASIC GRILLED PANINI

Steps:

• Drizzle olive oil on 1 side of each bread slice. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on the other side of each slice. Pile Cheddar cheese, ham, tomato, and onion on top. Top with other bread slice, mayonnaise side down.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat; spray lightly with cooking spray. Place sandwich on grill; weigh it down with a heavy pan. Cook until cheese is melted and grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

BEST GRILLED CHEESE EVER

Steps:

• Begin by roasting the chiles over the flame on your stovetop (or under the broiler) until the skin is totally blackened (if using fresh). When the chiles are totally charred, throw them into a plastic bag. Seal and allow them to steam and cool.
• Next, pour the white vinegar over the sliced red onion and let them sit awhile. This'll take away a little of the crazy onion flavor and leave them with a nice sweetness.
• Finally, make the special sauce: equal amounts of mayonnaise and Dijon. It's the simple things in life!
• When you're ready to make the sandwiches, scrape the blackened skin off the chiles. Scrape out the seeds, too, so you'll wind up with big pieces of roasted green chiles.
• For each sandwich, generously spread 2 pieces of rye bread with the special sauce. Lay on 2 slices of provolone, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of Cheddar... a nice layer of roasted green chiles... a few red onion slices... and one more slice of provolone just to hold it all together.
• Top with the other slice of bread and spread the outsides with a good amount of butter.
• Toast the sandwich in a skillet over medium-low heat until the cheese is thoroughly melted inside. Be careful not to burn the bread!

ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the bacon on a baking rack set over a sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, until nicely browned. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and cut in 1-inch pieces.
• Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Lay 12 slices of bread on a board and spread each one lightly with butter. Flip the slices and spread each one generously with the mayonnaise mixture. Don't neglect the corners!
• Grate the cheeses in a food processor fitted with the largest grating disk and combine. Distribute the bacon evenly on half the slices of bread. Pile 1/3 cup grated cheese evenly on top of the bacon and top with the remaining bread slices, sauce side down.
• Meanwhile, heat an electric panini press. When the press is hot, cook the sandwiches for 3 to 5 minutes in batches until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted. Allow to cool for 2 minutes. Cut in half and serve warm.

THREE CHEESE PANINI

Steps:

• Preheat a panini grill.
• Slice off the domed tops of the ciabatta rolls; rolls should now be about 1-inch thick; split rolls horizontally.
• Spread a thin, even layer of Grana Padano, then Crotonese, and then Cacio di Roma over the bottom of each roll.
• Generously drizzle some truffle oil over each before closing up the sandwich.
• Grill each sandwich for about 3 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

GRILLED CHEESE PANINI

Steps:

• Grill panini press at about 250°F for about five minutes.
• Be patient so all the cheese melts evenly.
• Then add cracked black pepper, pinch of Kosher salt and finish with truffle oil.
• NOTE: Don't cook with the truffle oil, it's much better to finish with it.

GRILLED CHEESE & TOMATO PANINI

Steps:

• Coat a stovetop ridged grill pan or large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat over medium-high.
• 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.
• Cook 3-4 minutes, turning once halfway through.
• Press down with a spatula until cheese melts.
