Clubpanini Recipes

PANINI SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Start heating the grill.
• Place 1 slice of mozzarella on each of 4 slices of bread.
• Place 1 slice of provolone on each of the other 4 slices of bread.
• Top the mozzarella with pepperoni, salami and pepperoncini.
• Top the provolone with turkey, ham and cheddar.
• Place the two halves of the sandwiches together.
• Brush the top of the first sandwich with the melted butter.
• Place the sandwich butter side down on the grill.
• Brush the other side with melted butter.
• Grill till bread is toasted and the cheese has melted.
• Continue with the other sandwiches.
• A George Foreman grill works great with these sandwiches but even a stove top grill would work.

TURKEY CLUB PANINI (SANDWICH)

Steps:

• Assemble sandwich using all ingredients except oil. Brush oil on bread or spray with butter.
• Cook until sandwich is crisp on the outside and cheese has melted.

SMOKED TURKEY CLUB PANINI

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crisp. You can use a skillet or use the microwave, placing the bacon in a single layer on a paper-towel lined plate, cover with paper towels and microwave for about 5 minutes (repeating the process if all the bacon doesn't fit the first round). In a small bowl, combine the sun-dried tomatoes and mayonnaise.
• Lightly spread butter over one side of each bread. Lay the butter-sides down on a cutting board or work area. Spread each slice with the sun-dried tomato mayonnaise. Layer half of the cheese on 4 slices of bread then top with turkey, bacon, spinach (or arugula) and remaining cheese. Top with remaining bread, butter side up.
• Cook the sandwiches on a panini press, skillet or grill pan heated on medium heat for one minute prior to cooking. I use an indoor grill pan for my paninis but a skillet would work just as well. I place 2-3 sandwiches (depending on the size of the sandwich) in the grill pan and weigh the sandwiches down with a heavy pot (you can also use a foil-covered brick or similar object). Cook the sandwiches for about 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN CLUB PANINI

Steps:

• Preheat sandwich press according to manufacturers' instructions.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook, turning halfway through, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer to a plate.
• Place bacon in a separate skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Spread 1 tablespoon butter over the outside of each slice of bread. Spread mayonnaise over 2 bread slices; assemble chicken, bacon, Cheddar cheese, tomato, and sprouts on top. Cover with the remaining 2 slices, buttered side-up. Place sandwiches into the sandwich press; cook until cheese is melted and bread is toasted, 5 to 8 minutes.
